survive juvenility
into metamorphosis.

Imagination
playing tricks; I’ll not be found.
I am a twig, me.

Hanging out to dry,
ugly guzzling grubbers will
transform and amaze.

Spring’s prelude so green,
a sight for sore eyes after
the long wet grey days.

Russet explosions
or a swarm of sea urchins
Spring caterpillar.
