Blue skies changed to scarlet
Sunset fell beneath the starlet

A pasture of stars, shimmering
Following the moon’s glimmering

Beautiful night, whispering light
Kissing with laughter so bright

It was heaven’s stillness, smiling
Breathing joy and hope, beguiling

As the caterpillar wandered, alone
Oh, my, how his belly did groan

He had eaten all the pretty flowers
Before the skies filled with showers

Soon turning such a vibrant green
Looking so much like a string bean

I decided he was a dancing worm
Because he would squiggle and squirm

As insects go, he was just delightful
Though coming from bloodlines so frightful

He’s the most intelligent worm I know
A book in hand, his huge brain all aglow

This is so charming, love your phrases like 'pasture of stars shimmering' and the line 'looking so much like a green bean' is adorable! I consider myself a bookworm so I would call it a compliment, hope it's a winner for you~
