SHIBBOLETH ET CETERA!!!

from the ancient Greek
shibboleth et cetera
believe in yourself

These words grant you strength
singing cheerful battle hymn
smile and move forward

On this special day
shibboleth et cetera
giving us courage

Chanted by the crowd
who sees you have a bright soul
resonant spirit

Shout these magic words
shibboleth et cetera
and the world is yours

Into history
becoming the best ever
these words on our lips

CARPE AEON ELIPSIS SHIBBOLETH ET CETERA!!!

all grown

Her wings have hardened
Caterpillar all grown up
Now to find a mate

butterflies

Metamorphosis
Built into their genetics
The strangest changes

flutterer

Took all my power
To make new wings mouth and eyes
Glide to a flower

flutter

Pudgey back now wings
Mouth once chewed now only sips
Amazing new eyes

Change starts on inside
No one notices until
Suddenly new wings

pupa 2

Blissfully peaceful
Hanging upside down from thread
Dreaming of new wings
