Hi Amada. This is lovely and I think we all know that feeling of wanting the hide from the world for just a bit. I like this style of poem as well. Great job!

Excellent. Beautiful words that flow from start to finish. The first line prepares the way for the last line. Very good.

I liked your poem which is true of all of us at one stage or another; Ivory tower one day and out there and part of the masses the next day. I think we all need that time out to take stock and renew our thoughts. Well done.

Amanda,

If I were to have four children and four grandchildren,
I know that I would stay in my cocoon for a while. It is wonderful to have the children and grandchildren, but I agree, there is a time for all things. It is now 2:18am, I am off to my cocoon:)
Fondly, Lyle

This poem has a lovely presentation. The long length and short lines make the shape of a cocoon. Very clever. I enjoyed the message. The short lines gave the poem a nice rhythm.

I can really relate to your poem because I do this so often. I think everyone needs time to withdraw and be in their own little world and recharge. Written very well, and very descriptive. Good job!
Patti :)

You have expressed your thoughts in this poem in an interesting way. I think that I feel that way too often:)

I liked the idea of the inner clock and these lines:

"Closed
from wantings
and needs"

Dear Amada, your thought to wrap yourself inside the cocoon in self improvement poem, Cocoon, really to bring heat for your hidden talent outside. Cocoon provides the warm courtesy to warm out your feelings and thoughts outside to be explored. "a slow motion
old mechanical
reel" as our mind has stored the thing like this and all are coming out turn by turn if we become eagerous and labourious. Our inner clock to make activate surely we must keep us heated means active. So that you have shown the way to squeeze out our quality or potentials throughout the source Cocoon implied. So nice poem to read written in free verse format.
Thanks and regards,
Kamal

    Hi Kamal. What an inspiring review to my poem. I had no idea of the meaning behind my simple words. I learned something so valuable today!

:) Lovely imagery, as always.

"the complex simplicity of my inner clock" is good; it borders on the self-conscious, but still good.

Do come back out and write more!

Smiles,

Joel
