I’ve already commented on this one but I want to comment again because reading it through a second time around, I like it even more! I love how it’s such a literal poem. Because things like wool gets so tangled up and ends up in complete chaos. But it could also be a metaphor for so many things! x
Ooh there are so many levels to this, I love it. Also on a literal basis as well though because I’m trying to learn to knit and it’s all going very wrong! This is beautiful.
Lovely words. The art of hand-knitting is dwindling and yet the most beautiful garments are always those where you know that love has gone into the crafting 🙂
It was curious writing the poem and thinking how knitting is just a long serious of chaotic-looking knots but knots that are created in an orderly fashion.
I am glad you enjoyed the poem!

Such a powerful message in under 20 words. Sometimes, the answers to our problems lie in the problems themselves. Beautifully done Jaya!

I’m not a big poetry lover. I feel like I usually “don’t get it.” LOL. But your posts always make me think! Keep up the good work.

Loved the poem. Brilliant thoughts especially the last line – Order lay there before.

As always, I so love this one too! Makes me think of the warmth wool has when knitted together 🙂 warm and cozy on this cold winter night!
