Nature's Vein
Ugly eight-legged creature,
the colour of nature
I swallow my morose feelings
I'm chained to the still saplings.
I blend in, glad to be invisible,
I am the leaf's heart, untraceable.
Unable to face the cruel soil anymore,
I encase myself, but still flows the gore,
I'm shying away from the world, a coward!
Keeping my sore heart from moving toward
the unknown; I do not want it wounded.
By the cocoon, a product of my fear, I am bounded.
But my betraying fortress, it crumbles
Inviting me to fall down to my troubles
But nature, she comes to my aid,
And into the green I do not fade,
For she gifts me with wings so colourful,
Like the rainbow, I take flight and drink up the world so plentiful.

This one is so cool! I love the differnet point of view. Only thing I would have to say is, some of your lines (the unknown; I do not want...) I thought broke off or started at odd places. One suggestion of mine would be, don't be afraid of having relatively short lines and then some long ones, just make sure they flow well. I like to write with a pattern in my poetry. i.e. Two short, one long, three short, one long, two short, etc. It gives the poem its own character. If you want an example, check out the ones on my profile. I have one pending publishing that would be a perfect example, so if you think of it, check it out in a couple of days. =+)
I really liked this poem though. Good job!!! <><
