The butterfly effect

Exaggerations aren't lies!
They're just the butterflies
that we chrysalise from the mundane.

but....

An ever-bigger fritillary
from the quite....caterpillary
Might trigger a hurricane.

I like this clever little ditty, there are a couple of typos in the first line which distract a little,:~}

It's okay alice I totally understand - I've only just discovered the 'Track' button!

looking forward to reading more of your work,

track button? could you give me the sort of directions to it you would if dealing with an idiot please.

RachelPatricia | April 20, 2010 - 15:25

It's just a little option that appears near your name when you go into your account, it keeps a track of everything you've posted and any comments they've recieved, as well as replies to any comments you've made on other people's work. I didn't even know it was there for a few weeks myself, but it does come in handy, hope this helps!

The idiot you refered to must be somebody you know, because we're all fully aware that with poetry like this, it certainly can't be you ;o) Just read this again and love it a little more, really is top-notch.
