Butterfly's Breath

We have decided that we will put on other poets' poems . In school we have made a poet tree to let the other students express their feelings in a poem or find their favourite  to stick on . We have chosen Butterfly's Breath by the American poet  Richard Brautigan because we enjoy the image of the simile.

Butterfly's Breath

The moon throws,
A shadow upon the night.
The shadow is as silent
As the birth of a rose,
And the shadow is as soft
As a butterfly's breath.
