Monarch Caterpillar Picture Source
fat ugly worm
lies down in a bed of silk
wakes up beautiful
~:~
winged mother
flits among my tomatoes
leaves terrible tot
~:~
ravenous youth
after a long silken sleep
lives only to mate
~:~
caterpillar
slips into rouge flower's cup
drowns in nectar
~:~
in pale moonlight
green worm saunters on antlers
goose sees lunar moth
~:~
cocoon spinner
twirls along side weaver's web
just out of reach

ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my haiku. What a nice community this is. I love your last haiku. I fear my first attempts always had the poor caterpillar in some dark place. lol. I see you were having the same thoughts ;-)
