Unravelled

image by pretendforme



Like a tight weave then
Words unravel like cheap knit
Tangles on the page


written for Haiku Challenge, Day 17, Ravel
and Thursday Poets' Rally, Week 38

Love it! I've started writing a few non-rhyming things at various times. It started well, but lost momentum. It unraveled. :)

I kept reading it for few times till I realized that it's a short one- the words are tangled indeed. The moment I reach the end, the beginning begins automatically!

Love xoxox

My words unravel all the time, but they usually originate from my mouth. Interesting simile.

This is absolutely wonderful, and I like the name of your blog even more. :o) My goal is to some day be able to write such powerful poems with so few words.
