The Southern Blue Swallowtail

Southern Butterfly
The Green dill gave him a thrilll 
Caterpillars born

Caterpillars gone
Dill eaten none remains now
Empty stems no chance

I like what you have done here Sara. It is a very novel way of presenting the narative. The way that you have composed this threw me and I had to read it a couple of times to appreciate it. It is a great poem which reminds me a bit of Cubism. For me the actual meaning (which isn't clear) is not the point. What is important is that you seem to be experementing with excellent results.
