1904



gorging leaves
fill their caterpillar days -
butterflies emerge

That's an interesting angle..the caterpillar days do have a commitment to the future butterfly! Makes me wonder if the present does owe something to the future!

Susan said...

Sumana Roy said...

a butterfly is never without its caterpillar days...such a beauty Gillena...

Old Egg said...

Why don't caterpillars get indigestion? Thinking about it they probably do, so change their diet when they are butterflies! That's food for thought.

Such a succinct depiction of life in all its glory!

A commitment to life!

Oh how clever, Gillena, to write about metamorphosis - a natural, beautiful commitment. My hope for this world is that somehow, we will transform too, become like butterflies - beautiful.

Sherry Blue Sky said...

I love contemplating this mystery. Beautiful!

Sanaa Rizvi said...

Metamorphosis.. ofcourse! Such a clever take on the prompt :D
Beautifully done.

Lots of love,
Sanaa

Appreciation of beautiful butterflies is enough to counter the squeamish feel for the wriggly caterpillars
