Butterfly Dance Poem by Catherine Inscore

Watch a butterfly
dance among the flowers
flit here, float there

butterfly an amazing work
of art–
colorful
Such a masterpiece
Of sorts

once of course,
it wasn’t
scraggly
ugly–
furry with legs
it crept and
crawled

One day something happened
it transformed
spun itself into
a funny sort of room

The caterpillar’s home
before long a cocoon!
Time marches on
the cocoon hangs
on...

And before our very eyes
a sight to see
so beautiful
an awakening!

This colorful
so fantastic–
amazing and gloryous
out of this glob

ugliness
arises
bright excellence
