The Caterpillar Has to Crawl

Comment from Delahay
A cute, fun poem of a creature we rarely even think that much about. It perseveres, crawling and wriggling up even tall trees, making its slow way to wherever it's going. Eventually it will be able to fly to get places, no longer having to crawl on its slow journey.

How true- the caterpillar has to crawl. Even some people have to crawl through life. Moving slowly towards their goal. Once they attain their aspiration that is all that matters.
Good rhyming couplets in your quatrains.
Smooth transitioning from one line to the other
another enjoyable read.

Comment from Janet Foor
Another amazing poem for children and adults as well. There are so many layers to your poetry, I am continually impressed. I never thought of caterpillars as wooly worms. I will look at worms differently now.
Blessings

Thanks so much, Janet, for your generous response to this poem. I've always thought it funny that I am repulsed by worms but allow caterpillars to crawl on my arm :-) Brooke
Comment from Auroraboreal800
I think this message of the caterpillar is just wonderful. You are an amazing author for children, and grow up as well. The caterpillar certainly pays a high price for his future wings.
Great job with this one too Brooke!

Love the description - a woolly version of the worm - never thought of them that way but its so apt. Nicely rhymed, as always, as the caterpillar crawls his way to become a beautiful butterfly.

This reminds me a lot about life because before you do certain things you need to acquire other skills, the simple ones. We all need to learn to crawl before we can fly or become the person we want to be. It all takes time and we have to patient

Reading your quatrains shows me where i go wrong on mine. I make my lines too long. You make an easy story within so few lines, with a simple character. Well done.

I admire your impeccable style whether writing for children, as in this poem, or for adults.
Actually, this write seems to be wiggling its way on the line in between.
We all have to creep before we walk.
The third stanza is my personal favorite. The description of the fruit is spot on in meaning and sound.
I have to admit I'm quite scared of caterpillars - they look like aliens to me.

A lovely and fun piece that's perfect for kids and quite enjoyable by adults with a bit of a child's still in them as well. Brings to mind when I was young, sitting on the sidewalk in front of my house watching "wooly bears" crawl around. Love the picture of your grandson. The expression on his face is priceless. Cute kid.
