If only I were

If only I were a lush green evergreen tree,
I could see beyond Raleigh,
I could let the birds perch on my arms,
but being a tree would mean getting
cut down sometime or the other.
If only I were a beautiful butterfly dancing in the sun,
I could drink the pollen from the fragrant flowers,
I could always depend on my camouflage owl eyed back
to protect me and I could roam about freely faster than ever,
but being a butterfly would mean being caught and kept in a cage.
If only I were a fish with shining scales, I could swim deep in the water,
I could hide in a tiny coral cave where sharks can’t get,
I could play a game of who will touch the bottom first,
but being a fish means getting caught in fishing net.
I guess I’ll just be plain old me.

| Hm something new, I believe I've never seen a poem portrayed in this way before, yes it does sound beautifull but there are always consequences to being something else such as humans, they always find ways to destroy themselves because we all do it to ourselves. Other then that, good write. SLipSiX. |

Yes the grass is always greener I suppose.The tree looks wonderful but they can live for centuries and would we want to become that wrinkled and old, HELP!!!!
The butterfly lives only for a day and the fish would probably get eaten, so as you say stay as you are it's a lot safer.Great poem with a n unusual idea, Ros |
