You Padlock A Butterfly

Rating: 5.0


Hey my Girlie! the nursery teacher
you taught me to spell love
and how to love smoothly
instead of nursery rhymes.
It's all over like in a movie.
I am a desperado in a nursing home.
Sitting on an isolated bench
And I recognized you from afar,
Your exceptional smile.
Oh! you are designated as a new Matron to this desperate home.Anyway I hope that you will teach me
Your Toy boy, again the spelling of love
And how to love politely not smoothly as earlier?

Your title is brilliant and your poem tells a poignant story of loving teaching and the decrepitude of age. My you continue to love smoothly Nimal, just as your teacher showed you. Thanks for sending me this one. love, Allie xxxx

Nimal, this is outragiously brilliant. there is a very English feel to this. I think that it is great. You express passion with such abandon, I wonder if this is you.
