Butterfly

I live on trees I eat green leaves I crawl and crawl and hide From the Beings in unfurled leaves I sing with the wind in silver moonlight And wait and wait till the time is right To enter the Chrysalis and get some sleep To bear two wings and paint them bright I wait and wait and never make a sigh! Then break the cocoon and fly real high I flap and flap and flap my wings Embrace new life and wonders of the sky Fancy a drink from the leaves of a flower? Or a ride on Breeze to a nearby tower? Wait and wait till the time you are ready! Work on your wings and make them steady! °____________________________° Nursery Rhyme Paghunda Zahid

This is so lovely. I love how a caterpillar turns into a beautiful butterfly. Gives a feeling of something magical about that process. Emilia : )

This is beautiful! I had the privilege of raising monarch butterflies from tiny caterpillars to full butterflies and watched them both make the chrysalis and come out of it. Quite an experience. Thank you for your comments on my poem.

Hi friend, this would be greatly relished by children. The entire life cycle of a butterfly from caterpillar to the final evolution into a butterfly is beautifully described ! Enjoyed.... ! Thanks Paghunda for your kind visit to my page!

Hello, Paghunda, I really liked your poem, but I couldn't place it in the contest. You forgot to place Nursery Rhyme at the end of your title and you had your name on it; which can not be allowed by Soup Contest rules. One other mistake "until. Sure loved your verse. Hugs

Hi Eve, that's really nice of you. I am glad that you liked these verses. I have actually written it months before your contest. And my bad, I didn't read rules of the contest either. Anyway thank you so much. I really appreciate your comment here. Thank you

Oh, Paghunda, on brightly painted butterfly wings, I was swept up and away into the magical realm of this beautiful and rhythmic poem. An absolutely delightful and wonderfully creative nursery rhyme. Loved it! Your splendid heart and brilliant artistry shines, my friend. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
