Caterpillar
The
Caterpillar
Has too
Many
Legs
They Wobble
All
Over
The place,
Bumbling along
And eating
Lettuce
Like
They think
A healthy diet
Will make
Them
Beautiful
Or give them
Wings
Or something.
Dragon Tails
Dragon tails
Swish like cats’
At play, they’re just
Bigger, and excitable
Dragonlings
Tend to make
A whole lot more mess.
It’s like small fire breathing scaled things
(who are bigger than houses)
Falling all over the place and shooting flames
Are perhaps
A little bit
Of a liability.
Snowglobe
The flakes fall,
As light and sharp
As papercuts
Freshly milled,
On our little home in the forest.
We know,
That whilst the snow
Keeps falling,
In our little world,
We are safe, for a while,
From the shaking.
