This week’s challenge word on the Illustration Friday website is “cocoon”.
I saw a cocoon
All wrinkled and drawn
Like a deep ocean prawn
From the shore of Rangoon
I poked the cocoon
It had a strange shape
Not unlike an ape
Or a hairy baboon
The cocoon I inspected
Twas webby and white
Layered thick and so tight
All predators deflected
For hours I stood
And watched the cocoon
Sunday afternoon
Would it stay there for good?
So, I left the cocoon
So shriveled and dried
Butterfly still inside
That the world would see soon.
Hey Josh! Very nice! I really like the way you incorporated the yellows and pinks into the cocoon. Those little twigs are a perfect compliment. Great poem too… did you make it up?
This is really fantastic. I love the complexity of the line work.
Great illustration, very dynamic style,
Beautiful drawing and lovely poem. I do, however, think that something ugly and evil is going to emerge from that cocoon! Too many hours spent watching Sci-Fi? Perhaps!!
