butterflies...

Butterflies butterflies everywhere
close your eyes and turn three times
when you do you will see
all is there for you and me
time to play and time to dance
you just have to take a chance...

When time is done you will know
the chimes will ring and start to sing
just touch your toes and squeeze your nose
when your done repeat this verse
butterflies butterflies everywhere...

Be of haste
there's no time to waste
when you see a bell that starts to yell
this is how you know it is time to go and say goodbye
tomorrow is another day
there's time to play and time to dance
tomorrow you can take that chance
remember the chimes
remember the bell
for when you're there all is well

This reminds me when I was in Elementary School. My 5th grade class raised butterflies (during that year they were my favorite animal because of this).
This reminds me of the lovely sense of innocence and freedom those butterflies gave me.
Thanks for writing this.

This is adorable! I love it. Butterflies are so pretty, as is the imagery here. Great write. :)

How cute~ I thought it was fun to read, good entertainment, but I would have liked to see some capitalization. I don't know, it just bothers me without it...

Encouraging piece.

Nice job... makes me think of a really creepy story my brother wrote, until the third stanza. The imagery is nice, especially when you described the bell's sound as a yell. Very good job.

Very cute... :) Amazing!
I wish I could get inspired this well when I'm bored... -.-'

Wish I got that inspired from being bored...lol But really, very nice poem. I thought that it sounded like lyrics to a song as well... very sweetly inspired. =)

This is the kind of poem I would want to recite to my children until it's burned into their heads, and we say it every night before bedtime, and actually turn around and stuff. I love it! -favorites- So sweet and has a magical quality :)

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is write out of a young childs perspective. Now I'm not sure if you were meaning to do that or not, but I find that it works very well. Another great write.
