Emily Dickinson - A fuzzy fellow, without feet,

A fuzzy fellow, without feet,
Yet doth exceeding run!
Of velvet, is his Countenance,
And his Complexion, dun!

Sometime, he dwelleth in the grass!
Sometime, upon a bough,
From which he doth descend in plush
Upon the Passer-by!

All this in summer.
But when winds alarm the Forest Folk,
He taketh Damask Residence --
And struts in sewing silk!

Then, finer than a Lady,
Emerges in the spring!
A Feather on each shoulder!
You'd scarce recognize him!

By Men, yclept Caterpillar!
By me! But who am I,
To tell the pretty secret
Of the Butterfly!

The poem is about a butterfly...unless you decided to take it a different way Jemma from United States Comment 2 of 3, added on January 9th, 2005 at 8:15 PM. It is not talking about a fuzzy man with no feet...it is describing a butterfly! This poem is also not a waste of time! Max from United States Comment 1 of 3, added on November 25th, 2004 at 4:20 PM. How could this man run without any feet? And how was he fuzzy? Did he have a lot of hair? I strongly suggest nobody waste their time with this poem, try reading Shel Silverstien instead, with his obsession of drawing Playboy characters.
