green caterpillar
pupates....
yellow swallowtail

                   gardener's inner joy  

non-traditional

caterpillar dreams
of wings and sweet nectar -
while munching tough leaves

From caterpillar 
To the warmth of the cocoon 
Now I fly in skies

Sweet caterpillar
Sitting on a leaf with joy
for soon it will fly

Tiny legs working.
Wonderful massage technique.
Pleasure undescribed.

Caterpillar crawls
Metamorphisis begins
Butterfly lives on

Caterpillar road
Roaming forward and backward
Never knowing where

so many legs on
such a tiny frame, and he. . . 
with so little speed


for Raul Moreno's Caterpillar's Gait contest

a caterpillar
sleeps in its chrysalis --
a butterfly wakes

jack horne for gail's butterfly contest

Short, slow legs cannot
Escape the fisherman's hook
Today we eat bream

go caterpillar,
and take that momentous leap!
sunny meadows wait.

A caterpillar 
Pulls her yellow belly
Over haystalk.

Sunbathing on leaf.
Caterpillar chlorophyll's!
Don't want to turn red!

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
and a fly, on blooming plant
two friends meet by chance

   . . .  tree bark soggy

                green caterpillar inches

                       down damp moss . . .

Watching in silence 
Caterpillar cocoon hatch 
Vibrant butterfly burst free

  silk thread hangs from leaf
     caterpillar in suspense 
        bird flies off agape

butterfly winged love

cranial cocoon

sunshiny hillside
amazing caterpillar
by the apple tree


spring summer blossoms
of green, wild apples eating
the children they are
