The Mag 151 My Cocoon


I am safe
In my pink cocoon. 
No bad colors allowed. 
The barrier
Shuts out the dark
The cold
The things I don’t want.

I am safe
In my pink cocoon.
I will emerge
Like a butterfly
Leaves its chrysalis
Beautiful and vibrant
Ready to gather nectar
And explore the world.
Until then

I am safe
In my pink cocoon.

Nice take on the pic. I like to see what sort of butterfly emerges from that cocoon! lol

Reminds me of something that Sigourney Weaver might wear! Can't focus on your words...the image is a little too much!...:)JP

You took a strange photo and turned it into such a comfy idea, I want one of these now, there is days I might like to stay in it all day long! :-)

That's a first, unique long sweater. It looks very silly pulled like that. Great tale though.

Irene said...

I rather like that. If I were her, I'd stay inside for a long while and put off coming out as long as possible. She does look very comfy. I wouldn't mind having a pink sweater like that myself. xox

She certainly does look safe and warm. I like the repeating lines. Good job.
