Metamorphosis

Even though she has twelve eyes,
caterpillar can’t see how
that she would need to wait for change -
she’s perfect as she is right now.

About the Writer


Cindy Greene

Cindy loves to write poetry and picture books while sitting at her kitchen table, while running, and when she is supposed to be sleeping. Cindy helps non-profits, works on issues of racial justice, and spends time with her fun family and ball-obsessed dog. She likes to laugh a lot. Cindy’s poetry can be found in several anthologies and stamped in a concrete sidewalk in her town.
