Two Little Butterflies Poem by Ananta Madhavan
Two Little Butterflies
Crazy little flutter-flies,
Bits of tissue paper
In acrobatic capers.
What magic thread tethers
These two together,
So fragile and so flimsy?
'I go higher than him, see? '
'I go higher than her, see? '
'Lord have a mercy! '
Said the tree. 'Oh, good grief,
They tickled my top leaf'.
