Small caterpillar,
the cocoon very awkward,
transformation soon.

Magnificent wings,
colours; beyond amazing,
butterfly is here.


Landing on your nose,
with a rush of excitement,
tickling your skin.

It leaves once again,
into the big, open world,
whispering goodbye.

The author's comments:
I wrote this poem based on butterflies. To make it interesting, I used the simplicity of a haiku and instead of just using one stanza, I used a haiku 4 times (to make four stanzas) and create a longer poem for more detail.
