scurrying on leaf
woolly bear caterpillar ~
winter harbinger
Date written: 10/03/2021
Many a caterpillar try
Yet few become a butterfly
And those that soar
Feed even more
Who don't know why, but live to die
Willing moths
my flame
wishing
for a shooting star…
Upon my
aster came
an Asteroid!
(moth caterpillar)
the caterpillar celebrates
when transformed as a butterfly
questioning not the happenstance
heart aglow it begins to fly
Would you like to be a butterfly
with wings and fancy stuff?
Would you like a metamorphosis?
Make sure you eat enough!
Caterpillar
Plump, green
Eating, weaving, sleeping
Inside of the cocoon
Shedding, growing, changing
Graceful beauty
Butterfly
Form:
Sweet caterpillar
Sitting on a leaf with joy
for soon it will fly
FOR CATERPILLAR'S GATE CONTEST
WON 6TH PLACE CONGRATS TO ME
Dreaming of a butterfly
Experiencing flight
Flying from flower to flower
Greeting the hot sun
Wishing I was a caterpillar still
caterpillar days
of deliciousness led to
chrysalis musings
when lovely rhymed lines emerged -
fluttering wings of romance
This caterpillar
Fell out the tree
Fell out the tree
Fell out the tree
This caterpillar
Fell out the tree
Now he can’t see
Brake out
From your cocoon
The moon
Must shed
Her skin
From this
Fat green caterpillar
To this smooth
Brown maple-leaf
Butterfly
green caterpillar
pupates....
yellow swallowtail
gardener's inner joy
non-traditional
I know a caterpillar and a fish,
but I won't catch and I won't squish.
I'm not sure why, but maybe because
one is slick and one has fuzz.
8 legs skimpering
like marbles with hairy legs
walks caterpillar

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr
A tiny trail of
Fresh symmetrical
Water droplets,
Clinging to
This branch
What clever
Caterpillar is this
That glowing string of pearls
A simple green life
Thank goodness I don't wear shoes
Soon I'll be air-borne
Sorry, not a traditional haiku,
but I couldnt resist
a caterpillar

starvation his end
Tantalizing wind
Meadow ripples, full of life
Caterpillar morph
Bird of prey, predator's eye.
Silent glide across pasture.
At times sprouted,
Opened up
Pomegranates,
Reminded me
Of bosomed breasts.
Trying their way out of the shirt.
Like a caterpillar out of the cocoon.
Oh dear, I just realized what I could do,
with the Hungry Caterpillar plushy,
enveloped by paper, for my cute new
nephew. He’ll learn to spell his name by three.
She wears peace signs
But screws like bombs erupting
Hips rocking like caterpillar tracks
Rolling over boulders
‘It’s a war in there, baby
And I wanna fight’
Wind
Blowing
Butterflies
From their cocoon
Sail in the sky with wings wide open wide
Body of colored beauty once was a
Caterpillar
Unmoved by
Blowing
Wind
Caterpillar
Fat, Fuzzy
Crawling, Climbing, Chewing
Chrysalis, Sleep, Transformation, Rebirth
Burgeoning, Bursting, Becoming
Beautiful, Majestic
...moth
Squish squash guts and slime
Mom says boots are banned from mudroom
New rule throughout caterpillar season
