[bodytext] => A bedtime story to tell the wee ones About fairies and tickles and things Once a time in a moment ago A Fairy king called all his men The Fairy Children and Moms and Kin Fluttered Fluttered Fluttered Fluttered In Each had their place on the soft bed of green moss The tiny fine golden haired foliage Winding and twisting forming little stools To have the children gather round I have a story that"s true I wish to share it with you My Mother once told me about a Caterpiller and Bee was having a talk A top the old Elder tree "My what a struggle I have ahead of me today," the young caterpiller sighed "Buzzz what"s the matter Buzzzz I haven't got long to lisen." buzzed the Bee "Well its this chewing and chewing . Its just leaves all day long." sobbed and whinned the caterpiller. "Buzz Buzzz Caterpiller young fella. Buzzz Buzzz You should be happy ." Buzzed the Bee. "Why ? What can you possibly mean?" "Well I have to travel far to find nectar and then fly all the way home." Buzzed the Bee his wings a steady hum. "Sooooo, sighed the caterpiller looking all sad . " Well, contuined the Bee " I have to search and find the most sweetness nectar ." "Oh hey, eating nectar ,how hard can it be?"snapped the caterpiller back to the BEE "Well I have to fly all over without getting sticky with my load and take it back home." "Well I wish I could change places with you." sighed the young worm. Now there came along a most mischievously rouge Fairy Imp Who could not resist having some fun. "Excuse me, said He And tipped to one knee as he gingerly lit down on the branch Did you say wish ? A Tent green Caterpiller to Bee "You think he would change places with thee?"laughed the Imp "Well , why not it ? quipped the caterpiller "Shan't be for long , just a few meals is all I need." Sobbing and whinning he says"I just can't bare to eat more leaves " Digging deep in his pockets the Fairy He pulls out a sack and sprinkles about a Blue fairy dust The caterpiller felt his self growning His many legs were all gone . And the wings on his back made a tickling sound. "Just a few meals caterpiller I expect you right Back. Shall I ask the Bee Bee here to help you find your way" "Nah , I need not go far I see the flowers Over there. Down in the bushes at the foot of this tree." "Buzz Buzz But But Buzz But ," stammered the Bee The impish little fairy quickly shushed him away "Ok ,we'll wait here but do not tarry Get in Get Out and Come back here again." "Humph ,"said the caterpiller Now Bee "I"II show them I"II go as fast as I can Get double as much more then Him And never need go out again." Now the Teller of the Tale began to circle round Pointing at the children they made not a sound Now Nectar is sticky And the Bee carries the flower pollen So often more often They do get covered with pollen But this young caterpiller didnt know how to collect and the more he tried to avoid the pollen The more he became covered. Finally he came back sobbing and tearfull Ashamed and sad that he hadn't won The Fairy imp felt sorry All that crying and sobbing and turned that young caterpiller Back into himself again. Oh Thank you dear friend I have learned a good lesson Don"t try to be something your not. The world and its wonders are yet to unfold so wait til your full grown and secure of yourself Before you leave home and venture the unknown.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
