Sericulture
Silk worms weave their magic3 total reviews
Comment from Aiona
What a cool poem! It made me look up "sericulture." It fits the 5-7-5 syllable prompt, and it is about a creature found in nature, although it is also domesticated, in a way.

Hi
This looks like a good entry for the contest. Good luck with that!!
This is about nature for sure and it's about one of the miracles of nature when a caterpillar turns into a butterfly or a moth. I'm not sure what kind of moth. Silk worms become a moth. But they are really caterpillars
I wonder if they are killed to make silk for clothing
Yes, they are killed in the process of making the silk
Their cocoon is what makes the silk, but it has to be boiled in order for the silk
to be made so the poor caterpillar inside the cocoon gets burned to death. Boiled to death. That's sad even though it's just a caterpillar that's sad. We could use materials like cotton, but don't get killed and boiled to death
Thought provoking poem
I enjoyed reading your poem
Good job. Thank you for sharing.
