Notes About The Poem

- A Little Bit of Magic - Nursery Rhyme -

      I met a tiny green worm
      her name was Milla Storm.

      On a branch the worm breathed sleepy
      "a little rest in the sun can't hurt me".

      She woke up stiff, numb and compact
      a deep long sleep, that's a fact.

      "Something stings and scratches on my back"
      complained sad ... such an unpleasant smack.

      She felt so isolated and trapped -
      almost as kidnapped.

      Had to fight bravely through the cocoon
      as she hummed a joyful tune.

      Milla tried to stretch out her feet
      suddenly she noticed something sweet.

      "Close your eyes - look I can fly ... F-L-Y 
       I'm a gorgeous butterfly".

The metamorphosis of the worm into a butterfly is so remarkably delineated ! I am sure Eve will rate it as one of the Best. Smile, dear Smile ! Love and hugs.

So delightful!!! Needs to be an illustrated booklet for children to be magically read and explained. A treasure. A FAVE!
