Caterpillar - Carry on Tuesday # 69

This weeks Carry on Tuesday prompt is the first words from
Mark Twain's 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'

'you don't know about me .....'

you have to use all of it or part of it within a poem or prose

not my usual style but this is mine...

You don't know about me

and neither do I

I 've been green for so long

that I'm sure I won't fly

I just know someone said

I'd be wonderful soon

and have beautiful wings

that could fly to the moon

but it's been 45 years

and I've not even one

I'm beginning to wonder

if they were having me on

still chrysalis's form

in their own good time

it's just taking a while

for me to get mine

I know when it comes

I will jump right in

and transform myself

into a glorious thing

then you'll know about me

and you won't forget why

cause you'll witness my wings

and watch as I fly
