Caterpillars Poems - Poems about Caterpillars

Mulberries and butterflies
They love the leaves—the butterflies, mulberry for their eggs, a home and caterpillars' feast, where adults rest their legs. Their beauty drawn—the butterflies, mulberry for their dance, where beauty mirrors beauty well, even with fleeting glance. With weather harsh—the butterflies, mulberry their shelter, through chilling winds or blazing heat, no flight helter-skelter. When hunger strikes—the butterflies, mulberry their nectar, for food, for strength, for energy, their nose, their detector. For friendship’s...

Purpose to him, quite unknown A giver, a taker, perhaps a thief? Curiosity leads him...

Why Caterpillars Do Not Wear Shoes
I watched a little caterpillar walking up a tree and wondered how that worm would look if he were dressed like me. I think his mother would complain if she had shoes to buy, cause by the time she tied them all he’d be a butterfly!...

Caterpillars Become Butterflies
They said that she was ugly, fat, and shy. She went her way to shameful words and sneers. Ignored or worse by those who passed her by, She'd weep the dew each night with all her tears. The caterpillar, few have understood. In every garden scorned and undesired Until such time she reaches womanhood. Then by all men she's suddenly admired. The dress...

Heavy-bodied black-eyed, reflexed antennae - many hundreds of moths crave the lamplight, some attaining extinction through cracks around the window screen. Vexing. Until next morning, I look up the...
