Thread of An Idea
I have taken your single thread
And rolled it into a neat ball.
I’d like to knit a poem from it
And gift it to you as a shawl.
There are bright colors in this thread
That could be knitted into words.
But I am ever error prone
And must unravel the absurds.
I see my needle caught the thread,
Turned adjective into a noun.
English and knitting teachers both
Are looking at me with a frown.
I’ve drawn a pattern just for you
Have even coined some brand new words.
Your knit/poetry will come to you
On bright wings of exotic birds.
A true artist could knit a poem
That would be pleasure for your eyes.
I send my humble gift to you
And please feel free to criticize.
