Dawn painted the sky.
There sat a creature (maybe a caterpillar), relaxing,
eating for enjoyment, singing, the oldest of the young, green.
A flower beside it,
a violet, asked it: "What are you dreaming?"
"Of a red flower, me upon a golden mushroom beside it"

"What is red?"

"Well, it's your color,
minus the blue of the sky."

"Am I pretty?" asked the flower.

The creature smiled broadly, in reply

"Thank you," said the flower.

The sky had now turned orange,
and the creature sneezed, transforming into something hard to touch (maybe a butterfly, or a ghost?).
Rising above the garden's canopy into the carnival,
the creature became lost, but heard a cry from below, "Come back again!"
