A brown cocoon hangs from the green leaf Receives derision of critters Judged by hideous aspect Until one day, transformed In a beautiful Blue butterfly Spreading wings To new Life Example for Fable Poetry Contest 2-17-2017 Lesson: look to the inner beauty of persons and creatures. Do not judge by external appearance.
