Butterflies and Master Cards

April is also National Poetry Month so be inspired and write, write, write. Let it flow! (I'm trying to take my own advice) If you need a little motivation, here's two of my favorite Nikki Giovanni pieces from her book, "Love Poems."

The Butterfly
those things
which you so laughingly call
hands are in fact two
brown butterflies fluttering
across the pleasure
they give
my body

I Take Master Card
I've heard all the stories
'bout how you don't deserve me
'cause I'm strong and beautiful and wonderful and you could
never live up to what you know I should have but I just want to let
you know:

I take Master Card

You can love me as much as your heart can stand
then put the rest on
account and pay the interest
each month until we get this settled

You see we modern women do comprehend
that we deserve a whole lot more
than what is normally being offered but we are trying
to get aligned with the modern world

So baby you can love me all
you like 'cause youre pre-approved
and you don't have to sign on
the bottom line

Charge it up
'til we just can't take no more
it's the modern way

I take Master Card
to see your Visa
and I deal with a Discovery but I don't want any American
Express 'cause like the Pointer Sisters say: I need a slow hand
