Knit one, pearl one, drop one, stitch one.
knit one, pearl one, drop one, stitch one,
knit one, pearl one, drop one, stitch one,
until the thread has all but run out
and all that is left are two frayed ends.
That is where you will find me,
hands clutching onto the ribbons
of something I once tried to create.
Knit one, pearl one, drop one, stitch one,
until there is nothing but loose wool
and empty space.
Knit one, pearl one, drop one, stitch one,
until I have woven enough tangles
to bring you back to me again.
Knit one, pearl one, drop one, stitch one,
this is what I shall do again and again.
Knit one, pearl one, drop one, stitch one,
knit one, pearl one, drop one, stitch one,
this is what I shall do again and again.

Written for today’s prompt from Magpie Tales.
Almost like the beads of a rosary… I think that might work too…
Yes, I think they would. Thank you for stopping by. 🙂 Are you looking forward to the new word challenge tomorrow?
There will not be a word challenge tomorrow… it will come and go a little….
I thought tomorrow was the dverse new word challenge or have I got my days muddled?
That was last Monday… and you linked up 🙂
Oh. Silly me.
So well spun. I love the use of repetition here, and the feeling of the poem being created as it’s being read.
This is excellent.
That read so melodically, like it had a beat to it. Awesome.
nicely knitted together….
Ah, the fibers of our being trying hard to hold them together but, in the end the threads unravel…a catchy phrase that works to hold the poem together. I enjoyed your creation.
Lovely unique take on the prompt…
So very clever , we do what we must , we social primates
Thank you.
I am about to read your poem ~ for the third time. It is beautiful.
Thank you so much. I’m glad you like it. 🙂
Lovely and somewhat hypnotic in its rhythm. Really liked it!
=)
Thank you.
Spinning a web…what an interesting idea.
This feels like raising children to me. So much time and energy spent in their creation. Till the years are spent and they just go. Its hard to resist celebrating the tangles that bring them back…
She is going to knit het way back, one pattern at a time. Sounds like a plan.
