Comment from Ricky1024
This Tanka was well written based on dreams of butterflies and silk.
Note: Silk fibers are produced by silkworms when they spin themselves into a cocoon on their journey to becoming a silk moth.
These ultra soft fibers are harvest from the cocoon and in their raw state.
By being boiled in hot water still containing the silkworms.
...
Note: The protein fiber of silk is composed mainly of fiberoin and is produced by certain insect larvae to form cocoons.
The best known silk is obtained from the cocoons of the larvae of the mulberry silkworm Bombyx Mori reared in captivity.(sericulture)
Thought you may like this in addition to your work.

Butterflies grow from cocoons too. I didn't know worms are cooked alive...that's horrible.
Comment from AP Apgar
Interesting Tanka poem- good picture presentation- good count an connection between lines - the poem has good metaphors- used to describe the stages of the experience- how traveled into and then finally emerging out the other side - release of butterflies- cocooned in silk sheets - nice- tried silk sheets - too active- end up on the floor- lol Good job AP

I like all the references to the life cycle of the silk worm from the cocooned and the butterflies. Hopefully, the dreams of passionate love come true for the poet.

I'm not sure of the use of the word 'manic' here. I think of manic as being bad, but silk sheets and dreams of passionate love would be good, right. Maybe I misunderstood.

It's a dark reference to me, I'm bipolar. I'll add a note to explain.
