Flutter
7th grade smiles from copper him
melted the walls where the protectors hover
started the heart all a flutter
Butterflies soft flight today turns
the mind to the flutter
Through adolescence the knees became butter
floating heart resolute lover flutter
Burned twice at 16 and then 21 stutter
reconnected when out to dance the flutter
Encounter him now, fly, do not hover
nor stop to hear the engine flutter

Yes, after all this time
it’s the same ol flutter
(like the fly!)
Flies in the buttermilk shoo fly shoo;)
Effective repetition here…and I really enjoyed this: “Through adolescence the knees became butter
floating heart resolute lover flutter…”
Thank you Carrie!
