Flying Crooked - A Caterpillar Coda Poem by Toolate Dave
Flying Crooked - A Caterpillar Coda
Rating: ★4.0
The caterpillar, hairy, green,
Whose appetite is all too keen,
Has not this honest gift, alas,
And heads straight for the Brassicas.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I've always liked Robert Graves' poem Flying Crooked. I added this coda when cabbage white caterpillars ate all my broccoli plants.
