fil et aiguille
A tying off
A binding down
A thread caught
Pulled too hard
A stitch
A loop
A moment
When it is neither

Deleteexcellent.we can all interpret these the way we want.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely this can be taken different ways.....metaphorically or literally.
ReplyDeleteHa, I will take it literally today, as this is the reason I am not a fan of sewing. Smiles.
I do like a tight short piece such as this one.
What an amazing metaphor! Brilliantly penned. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove this clever metaphor.
ReplyDeleteA moment
ReplyDeletewhen its just a moment-
Love the short lines ~ Happy Sunday ~
I like the way the pollen looks on the page, and I like the pacing of the poem, just as if the words were being stitched across. I also like the way you stay with the image and the action very nice.
ReplyDeleteI find myself in that brief moment (pause) often. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLovely
ReplyDeleteA moment
ReplyDeleteWhen it is neither...
...I know about this kind of moment...this piece definitely resonates with me.
I have found myself in that moment many times, though I never thought about it in this way - which I think is quite profound.
ReplyDeleteShort, elegant and lovely. Good writing. Loved it. :)
ReplyDeletecan narrate to it, so well.
ReplyDeletestitching at times, can become a tedious affair...lol
