Well thank you guys. The poem was a pleasure to read. If there's eloquence in the crit, well just know that was a process like writing poetry it wasn't always there Wink. I appreciate the kind words though.

Fine erotic poem with mild flavor. I love the double meaning of words in this context. The last word sounds a little rough from the crowd - perhaps the word is master (or sculptures)?

There is not the least reason why an artisan should not be soulful; that borders on elitism, which is more my territory..... We had silk-worms at one time, as kids, and they were much like other things which make cocoons--- which I haven't seen in an age. One had to keep getting mulberry leaves, I think.

I don't much care for haiku, but do like brevity. Stupidly, I kept thinking of glow-worms, which I have never seen, and are now rare in the UK. Very nice, in a non-sycophantic sort of way...Big Grin

This reminds me of both William Blake's The Sick Rose and Sylvia Plath's Edge, while "gossamer" calls Emily Dickinson to mind. A luscious poem. The syntax is weird but I like that about it.
