Poem Artwork

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. Oscar Wilde



 

wHole In The Pocket



 

The stitch was loose, the thread hung low
The tension weak in patterned row
That held 2 hearts, content and safe
Secure and loved, in passions wake



Then love fell thru, without a sound
And rolled in circles, gutter bound
A downward glance might just have shown
The need to mend, loose pockets prone

This is an excellent metaphor you have used in this piece. Sometimes the weak links (or loose threads) are right there in front of our eyes, yet we don't see them till stuff starts leaking out of our pockets. Very well said.

Brilliant quote, pic and poem to match, Anita! Such wisdom with so few lines that are quite perfectly stitched, sewn and interwoven - and such clarity of thought! I guess that walking around star-gazing and with head in the clouds leads to unreality for some and to a denial of the truth for others. Whereas keeping your hands in each other's pockets means that you at least THINK you have a feel for what is actually going on!!? Luvin it, thank you, Kate xx PS a propos my write today, sorry it's not too clear... ever heard of colour therapy?! Sure you have.. it's an American idea for sure! xx
