Butterfly

A POEM BY MY SISTER <3:

dew drips from a leaf

a leaf that a little caterpillar walks on

it will soon be transformed

into a majestic pollinator

its climbs to a branch on a small tree

there, it starts making a cocoon

somehow it knows just what to do

it settles in wrapping itself up

it stays in there for weeks

then one day

it emerges

little does the creature know 

that he's now changed into

something very different

    as I watch my world fall apart

    HEADLINES

    Big words jumping out at you from creased paper, casually thrown on the counter, demanding attention 

    Meaningless opinions coated in fallacies
