Image: A Colorful Caterpillar (here)
Abhorrent as a
caterpillar but became
one so beautiful
Both are colorful
But why it was a put off
but later transformed?
A butterfly flies
inviting for grabs as it
flutters leisurely
Beautiful colors
attracted not just birds but
avid collectors
Note: Following Basho, Hank's attempts
at creating paradoxes not knowing it works
or not
For Chev's CARPE DIEM #727 - a butterfly flies
What a beautiful caterpillar Hank a a wonderful verse to accompany it.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
and you have done well. all the contrasts are vividly visible!
ReplyDeleteI love the caterpillar.. not abhorrent at all :-)
ReplyDeleteMany hands out to grab him once he turns
ReplyDeleteI've seen collectors. Can't say I get it
ReplyDeleteWhy would anyone want to pin butterflies on boards? At least the caterpillar is safe from that.
ReplyDeleteCollectors certainly do like the colors of butterflies.
