Formal Dress

caterpillar
wearing a token of
grass he
appears to be dressed
in top hat
dancing
upon my forearm
lovely gift of spring
bearing
blue and yellow
markings
not yet ready
for display
soon his flight will come
with full beauty
yet I shall miss in flight
the look of top hat that
he wears today

That's quite a word picture you have painted of this beauty.

lol Pauline
the look of top hat

Everything is just a passing state
from the caterpillar to the next stage
from the winter to the spring
and then summer does time bring
