Description Young and tender caterpillar,
You lived and learned,
What do you know now?
You spun your shell,
And found so strange,
That silk, and armored shell.

When emerged a butterfly,
You marveled.
You flew and shined,
Burned for all the world to see.
But that world is not a wholesome place,
As you saw when the predators found you.

No fool in you,
Remembering that silk,
You spun your armored cask.
But tell me now, oh caterpillar,
What comes from a butterfly’s cocoon?

'Burned for all the world to see' - I couldn't read on, for me this was comletion. The ultimate delight of Nature's trap or the beauty of flaming colours. I'm beat.

XD It would be wiser not to read past that.

My older writing lacked alot of polish.
