Pining

The knots have knots…God? Threads of needing, want, desire; passion spent on barren sod left to burn on flaming pyre. God, the knots have knots? Nodes and nodules, full of spoor, planted upon poisoned plots hoarding, warmth, desire and more… God, the knots have knots! Pulse, and pump; push, and explore lose the beastly cankerous clots excrete angst, open the pore, Free the knots, God, please… By root and rote, the seedling pleads. Contest: Me Against Myself Date 6/30/11 D. Guzzi

This sure has an intereting title and repeating line, the knot have knots! Love that line, Debs. This is one contest I can't touch with a ten foot pole.

Excellent phrase (wish I had written this one..."knots having knots"....oh yes, the tangled knots(webs) we weave against ourselves...our own worst enemies we are. Great poem (I haven't tackled this theme yet..yours is terrific and is hard to top!!
