Thanks for the time and kind words:-)
If only we could stay in that cocoon forever, we wouldn't have to know how the world really is. I like how this 5-7-5 makes one yearn for more innocent days that were carefree and magical. Too bad that when we spread our wings, we have to also see the evil. Good write.

Thanks for sharing your view and kind feedback:-)
Good thinking about living in the cocoon. I wonder if the butterfly thinks about what life will be like when it emerges.
Good 5-7-5 syllable count. It's satisfying to say so much in so few words.

thanks for your appreciation:).
i will surely look at your work
Ohla, sends shivers down my spine ! No wonder 'recognized' as truly deserves to be ! So much intens feeling expressed in so few words...it truly 'shines', delicately conveyes the subtle sensitivity of soul & its desire to harmonize, find its way in a dualistic reality, often indeed harsh world...a very spiritual poem that 'rings home' to my soul & the 'child in me', its innocence, trust, unconditional love/faith, authentic Nature, etc...The author notes & beautiful photo add to the WHOLE & remind us of & to...you know what...
Essence of poem evokes Rumi's wonderful poetry !
Wish good luck in contest !

A lot of in between the line thinking here. While we're still young and protected by parents(in the cocoon) we imagine the bright full moon of independence. Easy to see why you won.

I misread it. I thought I saw that you were contest winner.
Hi Anupam
Your poem in this 5-7-5 contest shows great wit and optimism for our world. Your notes are excellent in describing your thinking and concept. The presentation is lovely ... a great image.
While the concept is wonderful, I feel "yet" seems to be out-of-place here. It is your poem, I do not mean to re-write, however you might consider re-phrasing. Just as an example - "bathing in sweet moon's shimmer".
Usually, I would suggest not having two gerunds (ing's) in a three line poem. These are considered a weaker form of language, though they work well when used to create an "alluring sound" to awaken the audial senses.
Yes, it would be nice to return to the protection of our cocoon when life get's tough. To find those beautiful imaginings we need to develop many strong attributes as we discover the reality of life.
Well done. Good luck. Warm Regards - Lovinia xoxo

A pretty short poem that evokes peaceful moments inchildhood,or maybe when we were inside of our mother.
Very poetic expression of something we wish to be in some moments of our life.
I like it.
Congratulations

I am so touched by your positive and motivational words.
Thanks a lot for your exceptional rating:-)
Great little poem in which you perfectly describe the innocence of childhood. I guess it would be good if we could return to it when life gets tough sometimes. Syllable count spot on :), Splendid picture too. Thanks for sharing. - Kelly

I adore your views and kind rating.thanks:-)
I totally enjoyed this well written poem and they concept you broach, and in a sense, it also strikes me of life before birth as well. I also enjoyed reading the notes, and to me that childhood is to be remembered, savored so we never forget they type of life we should strive for.
