poem of the day August 15

AH, the dilemma

of caterpillars 

brought inside

to watch them

metamorphosize  

With MilkWeed

in short supply

I went to gather

what was left

by the hillside

On one eaten leaf was

a very tiny caterpillar

that would need 

my picked leaves to survive

So what did I do?

Some of you might be pondering

It was really quite a dilemma

But after much thought 

I took in the little fella

Now I am happy to say

all these Monarch caterpillars  

will all be metamorphosing together
