Pursuit
by admin, Posted in Poems
Her pudgy feet ran through the grass
Sparkling in the morning dew
Her footprints left a trail behind her
Impressions on the cold ground
She ran
Her feet stumbling on unfamiliar territory
She tripped and stumbled to the ground
She rose without hesitation and again began her pursuit
Of the beautiful winged creature
Its wings carried it higher
Faster than her little feet could take her
Yet she ran
Willing herself to go faster
She closed the gap
It was nearly in her reach
She sprung from the ground
A single finger brushing a delicate wing
Then it was off and she hit the ground
It fluttered away
Soaring to the sky
While she stayed grounded
Her face misted
Her knees green
But with a smile forming
She accomplished her goal
She touched the butterfly





That was a very, very cute poem! I enjoyed the way she showed how ambitious she was as the girl raced across the grass, trying to touch a beutiful little bug, the butterfly. Nice work!

That was a very cute poem! I loved the way Kym showed how the girl was ambitious to leap up and grasp the beautiful bug, the butterfly. I liked how this poem showed spirit and confidence to finish a task despite difficulties. Nice job Kym!

I love it! I thought it was a pegasus or something that she was after- the ending was completely unexpected!

Nice job Kym
It’s a beautiful poem. I can’t image what it would be like to touch a butterfly. Must be cool, though.

Great poem. I especially liked how you blended the word together to make it sound like more than just words. Well, as the saying goes, “Writer’s paint pictures with words.”
