POEM STARTER

Write a poem that centres around the motif of butterflies.

Different species of butterflies can be symbolic of different concepts, and their behaviours and lifecycles can reflect or inspire human emotions.

You’ve Changed

You look just as beautiful as the day I met you If not more You’ve changed The time we spent apart The time you said you needed space That only made me love you more All I could see was your cocoon You looked blank You looked lifeless You looked trapped I wanted to help you I wanted to rip you out of that shell I missed you so much The longer you were in there The more I worried you would never come out That’s what makes this so sweet I can finally see you Your old self And your new wings The way they shine is beautiful But It’s hard for me to believe that this is really you How can I know? I still love you all the same This won’t last long Though I must go soon I am still a caterpillar I have to work on myself now I don’t want you to go through what I did I don’t want you to worry about me So I need my space See you soon Maybe my wings will glow like yours
