Where is Springtime?

CATERPILLAR

by Ann Whitford Paul


Chapter One


Caterpillar creeps,
searching for a secluded twig
where her drama
can unfold.


Chapter Two


Caterpillar spins a cocoon—
its snug study
to better imagine
wings and flight.


Chapter Three

Caterpillar is gone.
A new character—
Moth—flutters about
the sunlit page.
