During Dr. Geng's discussion see had the class make up our own poems about the tale of The Butterfly Lovers. I was one of the lucky individuals that presented my poem for the class, but here is the poem again for those that didn't hear it.
There once was a young girl that went to school,
At this time this is not what a girl would do.
When she went the whole class she would fool.
She fell in love with her sworn brother,
but needed the approval of her mother.
Her parents did not agree,
So another man was her husband to be.
Her lover fell deathly ill,
And she went against her parents will.
To see her lover once more
When she saw him her tears started to poor.
Once they flooded her face,
A storm came over and she was erased,
Both lovers returned as butterflies
to fly away together in the skies.
