Hey gang; it's time to do something fun :-)
For just a moment, think about the symbolism of caterpillars in various artfoms. Ponder the journey of a caterpillar and all it represents.
Now, put yourself inside the mind of the caterpillar, and tell us what and how you feel. Describe your world and your existence intensively. Put us, your readers, right there in your world with you.
And use this as an opportunity to actually say something meaningful.
You've got three sentences and three sentences ONLY in which to accomplish this, so make them count. Exercise that literary muscle; make good use of metaphor, simile, personification, metonymy, onomatopoeia, imagery, and any other literary devices you can fit in. Post it as a comment, and feel free to comment on the work of others. However, keep in mind that we are all different writers at different levels in our craft. Be constructive if you dare criticize :-)
Alright guys - give it your best shot,
I.C. Jackson

New morning dew and mercies welcome me out on this limb, in this solitude. The cool, crisp air speaks to the green leaves, who whisper to me to keep building, keep spinning. Somehow I know the flight and the freedom that await beyond this branch.
I look forward to reading yours!
Munching leaves and spinning my web for me to lay
For soon it will be the day for me to spread my wings and fly away.
