Message from a Caterpillar by: Lilian Moore

Don't shake this
bough.
Don't try
to wake me
now.

In this cocoon
I've work to
do.
Inside this silk
I'm changing
things.

I'm worm like now
but in this
dark
I'm growing
wings.

  1. There was a rhythm, The author was expressing how a caterpillar changes in a cacoon, i liked how the author was talking about the different phases of a caterpillar in each stanza.

  2. It has rthyme,because it kept a beat while you read the end of each sentence.The author is trying to express how it feels for a caterpillar to be in its cocoon while changing into a butterfly. We liked how the author was acting like the caterpiller in this poem(that is what we think.) (AshleyB ,TarynN)

  4. I think that the poem is too short. We can hear the beat while reading it. It doesn't make scince as i was reading with the flow. I heard the alliteration differently in every paragraph. Sometimes it would be oo sometimes it would be d sometimes it would be s and sometimes it would be w. (Rebecca.s,Lauren G.,Mrs.Burns HM)

  5. We think that there was a rhyme,ther was some figuretive language used in this poem. That they were trying to express that the worm doesnt like to be bothered. We liked it because it was about a catepillar turning into a butterfly.

  6. We think there is no rhyme. There is no figurative language. We liked the part when the author said the catterpilliar was growing wings.

  7. There is no rhyme and there is no things you can hear repeated. There is no figurative lauguage and our favorite part is the cocoon when he is changing things.

  10. There was a rythm in the beginning with bough and now. There was no figurative langauge. The author was trying to express the changing of the caterpiller. I like how the poem was in the view of the caterpiller.

  11. Yes it has a rhyme. Like bough and now and thing and wing. No, there wasn't any figurative language used. I like most the way the author completely translates what a caterpillar MAY think/say if they can speak. The poet uses PERSONIFICATION". (Pam Venezuela and Sakib Ahmed - Pavelka)
