Morph is a rather modern way of saying change. It is used quite frequently in science fiction, or fantasy. This was a well written verse that I enjoyed reading and responding to...

This is very delightful to read. I like the whimsical tone and the rhyme and rhythm are smooth and even. The question at the end is so precocious and cute. Great job!

    Your reaction to my poem is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I truly was trying to convey a "whimsical" tone. Thank you so much for sharing!

I love this poem! "You pause to pull your backside up,
but only move an inch and stop." That is such a cute observation that a child would definitely make. Reminds me of my childhood, as I spent a lot of time outside and loved bugs and butterflies and plants and all that. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you for your great review and rating, namasta. I am especially flattered that you, the reader, could relate to the way the young speaker observes nature.

Hi :) Thank you so much for entering the contest.
I adore your take on the prompt. You bring the child's 'voice' to life and the observations about how the caterpillar moves, well I could hear my 6 year old daughter noticing and commenting on the same things...
Excellent rhyme and meter, lovely subject and gorgeous presentation.
Good luck in the booth :) Kindest regards, Debra
