Here is my entry:
A CATERPILLAR'S LIFE (WC 100)
by Michelle S. Kennedy
Chew and crunch and munch and grow…
A caterpillar is a pro. Eat and chomp! He stuffs his face. A leafless stalk remains in place.
Now he’s fat and needs to rest. He’s got to let his food digest. A chrysalis is his cocoon hiding him from sun and moon.
All cozy warm in his reprieve
and all wrapped up in nature’s sleeve,
he sleeps for days inside the case,
while tucked within its restful space.
When he awakes, he will be changed, equipped with wings and rearranged. He’ll wriggle free, a butterfly. And just like that— he’ll flutter by!
