Paghunda Zahid Poet Rhyme

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!

Emilia James July 26, 2022 at 4:01 AM This is so lovely. I love how a caterpillar turns into a beautiful butterfly. Gives a feeling of something magical about that process. Emilia : ) Paghunda Zahid December 23, 2023 at 10:53 PM Thanks a lot

Faye Gibson May 17, 2022 at 5:21 PM 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. Paghunda Zahid December 23, 2023 at 10:53 PM Thanks Gibson. I am glad you liked it.

Eve Roper October 14, 2021 at 10:04 AM 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 Paghunda Zahid December 23, 2023 at 10:52 PM It finally got placed in your latest contest Eve... Thank you! Paghunda Zahid October 15, 2021 at 12:12 PM 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
