Premium Member Caterpillar Dreams
Ah what wondrous happenstance,
For a worm to reach by chance,
The form of a beautiful butterfly,
And sip the dew dew drops where they lie,
On silken petals fragrant, sweet,
In forest lawn till I'm repleat.

For now I'm locked in this chrysalis,
Dreaming of a lily chalice,
From which I'll sip...

Premium Member ROBIN RED BREAST BUMBLE BEE AND KATY CATERPILLAR

Hi dear friends, I’m back after a bad shingles attack and straight after that bronchitis verging on pneumonia.

Little Robin red breast bobbing up and down,
Would take away with glee, anybody’s frown
And friendly buzzing Mr Bumble bee delights,
Us one and all, he does not sting, it’s...

Caterpillar Falls
Caterpillar falls.

The dawn from drunk consciousness,
awakes from the darkness of night.
An eagle stares at the back of wind,
then floats downstream till the current ends,
and dips its wings in the orange sunrays.
The caterpillar slips off a branch of tree
to land on the eagle's back.
Rustling trees chatter...

                 green, young

 crawling, metamorphosing, molting

larva, silkworm, vertebrae, gossamer

       flittering, flapping, perching

CATERPILLAR: 

Sweet, moist, musky earth pervades all of my senses 
In safe darkness, beneath this leaf, my cool canopy 
I have no wants as I slumber here in contentment 
I am humbly grateful, alive with my blessings 

Rested now, I feel a need to explore...

Once,

an eager caterpillar I was, 

dreaming of a butterfly to be.


Now,


a happy butterfly I am, flying 

into the Lord's eternity!

Life Is Like a Caterpillar
Intricate patterns hide beneath the surface
Waiting to be found by someone
Observant enough to see 
the beauty they can bring

Simple yet beautiful, 
They bring joy to all around,
And complete it once they are found 

The little lines lie listening for someone to look,
And suddenly they are...

The Butterfly and the Caterpillar

“This is the end,” said the caterpillar.
“This is the beginning,” said the butterfly.

The butterfly is fulfilling its goal by leading
the life of a butterfly.

Why should he live like a caterpillar, only so
the caterpillars can be less afraid?

Since the butterfly knows the...

Incy Wincy Caterpillar Nr
Incy Wincy caterpillar, what are you doing there?
You’re not supposed to crawl up, you know it isn’t fair.

If you go to sleep up there, and then you make cocoons
What happens if you hatch out? One night on a full moon.

Incy Wincy caterpillar I really don’t...

inching down a leaf
you nibble voraciously …
time for your afternoon nap

hanging from a twig
wrapped in a pure silk blanket
metamorphosis occurs

butterfly hatches
wings unfold in warm sunshine
dazzling debutante rises

To a Caterpillar
Oh hairy, striped, hungry worm;
It's your business your about.
By fall you'll be a fluttering moth,
Once you've turned inside out.

Until then sit and rest awhile,
Upon that shady bush.
Your time on earth is brief you know:
So what's your great, big rush?

Oh striped, sleek, prolific worm;
Some folks dislike...
