I like this poem very much
because it is sur-real
I love the way you express the need to be alone for awhile
I have had a few of those moments myself.
this is a good write.

I enjoyed your poem very much.I , liked the way you worded 'well wrapped in a cocoon', and 'closed from wantings and needs'. You put the message over well that it's great to have some 'me' time.Thanks.

Loved your use of visually squishing the words into a confined area (like a cocoon...:P). I thought your references to mechanical objects (the mechanical reel and the inner 'clock') was also interesting, as a cocoon found in nature, is organic. Nice juxtaposition.

A charming little poem, which I for one can readily identify with. Oh, the need to be on my own sometimes, no questions, no responsibilities, no duties. You have really nailed that feeling.
Some lovely alliteration and assonance - world/swirl, old/slow/motion, all the c's, honor/complex/clock, etc.
The final stanza ends with the simplicity you crave in the stanza above.
A pleasure to read and review.
Sally

I love your poem and the title "Cocoon" I understand your feelings expressed in this well thought out verse. I often feel so overwhelmed by everything in this life that I wish there really was a Cocoon to crawl into.
Great job expressing your feelings into poetry.
Thanks for sharing.

I can relate to the feeling your create in this poem. Sometimes I need to be by myself and not focus on anything else. I like the image of a cocoon,excellent description.

Nicely said and I really like the simplicity and elongated way you have written this...as if in a cocoon. The imagery of it is great. Thank you for this posting.

I know the feeling. While the simile is not new, the voicing is al your own and well expressed. it induces the very mood it describes (though i was heading in that direction anyway).

Maybe I will close down the computer now and just relax.

LOL

Lovely free verse flow with pace to match the tone and tenor of your theme.
I onjoyed your use of continual consonance with C sounds.
Bravo.

Warmly, rd
