Knots

Posted by cjm on June 5, 2011 - 20:46

I may unravel
when the tide comes in
As the sun sinks
below the horizon

I may unravel at dusk
or dawn
When the fisherman rise
to cast their nets

Or when they return
nets laden
with fish
and seaweeds
with shells
and stray clothes

Unravel I will
Only God knows when.

Hello cjm.
I liked this, but then I'm a sucker for watery yarns.

ps warning, once wet, knots will never unravel.

Wonderful stuff. :-)

I really like the succinct wording of this piece.

Thanks ScoZen. Watery yarn is a good discription for it too.

Thanks fatboy74.

Thanks Dynamaso. I'm trying out the less is more concept. :)
