Threads, Fabrics and Yarns



Bungled patterns become painful
Hugs rejected and botched kiss
Dropping needle strands is baneful
One wrong stitch a major miss
Frigorific love now frozen
Sorrow comes from "threads" ill woven

Impulse is irrefutable
Angry creatures growl and hiss
Heat thaws ice is immutable
Mars in "fabrics" to dismiss
Clear dissection from the maven
Exposes the shameless craven

Rituals like a great baptismal
Yielding beauty, warmth and bliss
Thoughts removed considered dismal
To transcend hatred's abyss
Harmony and peace uncloven
Pleasure comes from "yarns" well chosen
