Butterfly Poem A mama butterfly lays all her eggs, Out pops a caterpillar, crawling on its legs. The caterpillar first is rather thin, But then it eats till it bursts through its skin. After growing nice and big, The caterpillar climbs on a leaf or twig. It makes a shell where it hangs inside. The shell then cracks, and the parts divide. Inside the shell, a change was going on, The form of the caterpillar now is gone. When the shell opens, what comes out? A beautiful butterfly fluttering about!
