Threads of Life
Threads of life woven closely
Connecting us to others
In such beautiful patterns
Of rich color and texture
At times they’re stretched to breaking
Or bound together in strength
When a thread comes to an end
We cling tightly to our own
Or perhaps latch on to others
To weave a new design
Coordinated creations
Connecting colorful strands
Hoping it will become strong
And remain unknotted
The design harmonious
in basic simplicity
Sometimes it is rough and frayed
Or intricate and complex
When pulled from its given form
It might distort or lose shape
It will be what it will be
But not for want of trying

Sanaa is hosting D'Verse Poets tonight and has asked us to look at
Korean Poetry, in particular the form called Kasa. It calls for four
couplets of seven syllables per line. You can read more about if at
the D'verse.com page. This was the first time I attempted this form and
I got carried away with the length and ended up with eleven couplets! Oh well.
