Sandra Haight Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Cocooned

Cocooned 


Just like a butterfly trapped tight,

     her folded wings await the flight.

          Cocooned, she fears what to expect

               when from her safety, disconnects.

With wings of flight, she must escape

     into a world with new landscape...

          Just like a butterfly entrapped

               inside a world so tightly capped.

Cocooned, she fears the world outside

     seen from within...freedom denied.

          Transfiguration, a gift of few...

               needs wings of flight to change her view.
