Butterflies

There is beauty in the lessons we learn in life 
for they are the things that help us transform 
from caterpillars to butterflies.

Caterpillars gone
Dill eaten none remains now
Empty stems no chance

IN COCOONING TIMES

Faithfully cocooned,
Caterpillars soon become 
Soaring butterflies:
In your life’s cocooning time,
Seek God’s metamorphosis:-

Anxiety I

Struggling to breathe
On dry land
Butterflies in my stomach
Yet I don't remember eating caterpillars
A cold sweat 
Runs down my back
Everything is okay…
Right?

Driving Where We Used To Ride

6 earthmovers terracing a hill, 
no more horses in a swale of green.				
4 lanes westbound, 4 lanes east. 
Caterpillars are eating the fields> 
We take the long easy curves
black-shod.

Worms
Blue birds
Morning chirps
Almost summer
Mother nature casts its spell on the earth

Promises us renewals and rebirth
Caterpillars
Bright flowers
Showers
Warmth

Fallow Fields

wildflowers brighten
fallow fields on a summer day
while caterpillars 
eat all green leaves along their way.

Nicotine and Diesel

Face well worn, Graying hair,
Marlboro in his mouth.

Clay-dirt boots, dusty hat,
Bologna from a sack.

Tastes of nicotine and diesel,
he can’t spit it out.

The old man makes his living 
on a caterpillars back.

Butterfly floating
Southern Blue Swallowtail Lays
Love on Meadow Rue

Soon caterpillars
Stinking like skunk munch and munch
Meadow Rue for  lunch

The air is filled 
Miniture blue sailing off
To mate for their day

We had these caterpillars on our little citrus tree until heavy rains washed them away.  :(  We were hoping for flying flowers!

Apples.. beetles.. caterpillars..
daisies everywhere.. 
fertile ground.. hollyhocks.. 
Ivy jumbled kegs..
leafy mint.. nematodes..
oregano..peas.. 
quiet rest sunsets.. tomatoes under vines..

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!

To See Hawthorn On the Summer Hedges

to see hawthorn on the Summer hedges
bluebirds on the ledges of the low lying sill
 near the old cotton mill
bird song fills the air, chirping cheeping, caterpillars creeping.,
through the leaves of green 
glistening in the summer sun.

Premium Member Just Wondering

JUST WONDERING IF….

Snails race each other

Alleycats love arias

Rats ever get disgusted

The devil dreams of ice cream

Caterpillars long to fly

Mosquitoes watch vampire movies

Billy really did it

Of Flowers and Caterpillars

Someone decides
           And then terminates
The colorful catepillars, feeding
          On the lovely, little flowers.

No one stopped to ask
           The flowers, if their wish
Was to live for appreciation
           Or, die for metamorphosis.

Premium Member Not Dead Yet

caterpillars live
time in the dark...
laboring till a dawn of flight
and a past life to remember...
and, caterpillars don't understand
those choices that butterflies have...
the cognitions that are not as unwell but
wisdoms in children voices remembered...

Caterpillars Delight

Looking beyond our differences,
  the image deepened

Speaking without words,
  the conversation spiked

Touching without holding on,
  all feelings turned to ecstasy

Loving while letting go,
 —the caterpillars delight

Premium Member Butterfly Sonnet

Pale brimstone
on days windblown
hover flower to flower
ducking Spring's sudden shower

Common butterflies so blue
each season,two generations new
small heath,argus,marbled white
&speckled brown,slow in flight

Winter's caterpillars green &small
fragile miracles,to enthrall
Form: Sonnet

Dark Grip

the dancing discouraged his grief as branches under the sky of a fireworks of war 
forged by then the caterpillars and the bees 
take the nectar sweet flower of the sins they stay at home as the war steadily 
creeping bitterness among the clouds they see
 The move in the dark grip
