Analysis of A Caterpillar Raised By Worms

R.L.B 1996 (Bakersfield)



What is a caterpillar to the worms?

Surrounded by many who judge.

Yet seeks to impress the worm that affirms.

What is a caterpillar to the worms?

Do the worms know he will grow, from what he learns.

Or will the neglected butterfly grow a grudge?

What is a caterpillar to the worms?

Surrounded by many who judge
