A nice free verse poem, amada. But, I must say, if you are wanting to stay within, well wrapped in a cocoon, you're going to have a hard time doing that on FanStory. You're going to have to come out to read your reviews. Thanks for sharing.

    Clever, very clever. Ant truthful too. You see, I am here reading my good reviews and feeling better already. Fanstory is the best therapy!

Now that I'm retired, I could give you lessons on this staying within stuff, Amada. LOL It's true, though, that alone time is a necessity we sometimes ignore. Your free verse manages to convey the sentiments of the persona as she describes her bliss. Great job!

    Yes, it's s blessed refuge to be able to stay away from the crowds, and watch the parade just passing by. Your comments are so true!

suggestion= drop "in" from your L2 and you might possibly want to change "for" to "from" in L16

Nicely done and something many
of us can relate to. Your
word choices serve you well
as your poem moves easily down the
page. Thank you for the read. Lora

Hi amada...I imagine there will be many who agree with the message in your poem. I know I do. I am outgoing and love people but sometimes I just want to stay inside myself too. A good poem with a powerful message. Blessings....chey

Hi Amada,
This is beautiful. And yes, the feeling is so familiar, you said it all so well. I love being in my cocoon too. I love my times of solitude and contemplation. Very nicely written.

This is very well written. It is good to get away from it all and to cover yourself in a security blanket. This is very well written.

This piece was very introspective and I enjoyed the feelings you present. I do think you could work on formatting some because the way it looks right now it seems broken. Take Care.

Being cocooned inside oneself is the ideal position. Your
poem says this perfectly, with imaginative and creative lines.
I loved it.

This is such a great poem! I think we all feel like this at times. I love your wording but especially:

Closed
for wantings
and needs.

Time to honor
the complex
simplicity
of my inner clock.

This is wonderful writing and I enjoyed reading it. . .Sharon
