In a world so full of wonder,
A tiny egg cracks asunder,
And out comes a larva small,
Starting a journey that's not at all.

It munches and eats to grow,
Into a pupa, it will undergo,
A metamorphosis in its cocoon,
And soon, it'll be an adult soon.

This is the life cycle of a bug,
A beautiful transformation, not a shrug,
From an egg to a winged creature,
Its journey is full of adventure.

So don't be afraid of changes,
Like a caterpillar going through ranges,
For in the end, you'll surely see,
A brand new life, just like a bee.

Reflections

1. What is the life cycle of a bug, and what stages does it go through?
2. How does the poem describe the transformation of a larva into a pupa and then an adult?
3. What can we learn from the story about embracing change and growth?
4. How does the use of rhyme and imagery in the poem help to tell the story of the bug's journey?
5. Have you ever gone through a metamorphosis or transformation in your own life, and how did you feel about it?
