A POEM BY MY SISTER <3:
dew drips from a leaf
a leaf that a little caterpillar walks on
it will soon be transformed
into a majestic pollinator
its climbs to a branch on a small tree
there, it starts making a cocoon
somehow it knows just what to do
it settles in wrapping itself up
it stays in there for weeks
then one day
it emerges
little does the creature know
that he's now changed into
something very different
Posted in response to the challenge Grown.
fitting in is rent, and it's due every day
paid in the basic clothes you wear
and in the people of which you smile and compliment
but more importantly in the people you don't
The dirty gravel path crunches under the tires of our Toyota. Dust rises around the car, blurring the tall vibrant trees hugging the road.
Shadows lengthening
Air sharpening to a crisp
Summer slipping day by day
Something new and familiar in its place.
Bags stuffed with papers
Early morning bus rides
