Hiding In Cocoon

Truant night wind sails--its moon without song I long for rapt, minstrel's tune. My angst wrapped in cocoon Angel child ... gone in June.

Wow! That's very nice! It looks like maybe you wrote this for a contest I am not going to win.

reading your poem left me with a lingering sense of sandness. I like the use of cocoon. Well done yellow rose

Wow. Every word lingers. This is so sad and beautiful at the same time. The words ending with t (truant , night, without, the double rapt-wrapped, and angst ) echo and sound like 'wept' through the 3 lines without saying it. And then there's the repetition of n in many words, landing on 'cocoon' and 'gone' for meaning. I hope it's not true... heartbreaking.
