Threads, swing, swang in zig zag of tapestry
Views set out, butterflies, in pictures painting
But not with ink, paint, print on; off on spills
Pins and needless, weaves on cloths
Step by step, as background formation
Set like poetry, with words of objects, positioned
Some say random, set in abstract
Till a step back, sight views, of back mirrors
Of what it is, in bigger pictures, shown
On the flip side,
Of what thread marks, skid marks
Lay hidden, dodged away from view
On art works, of tapestry
Stands the netegrity of life, in life stories
Staged in clandestine, set hanged from view
But who ever looks; why do you look
At the back side of tapestry
Sets sights eyes, on alternate universe
Hence the phrase in words;
Swept under the carpet, in Pandora's box, locked
The phrase is, as, to, know it all, is with troubles
Still in views, beauty of the tapestry
And it is by choice made, thus, by one's prerogative flip
To have set sight on, what lies behind, closed doors
Truly I say, surely indeed
Life truly can just be, just like tapestry
And Class closed, for that is all
In tapestry explained in full
Love the weaving of words, creating wonderful layers of cloth.
ReplyDeletenice...i am a sucker for looking at the back...guess i just like all the perspectives, even the chaos...and the up close and then step back allows the eye to take it all in...
ReplyDeleteAn indictment to choose to see what is obscured, behind the veil, to the truth which often lies hidden.

This is so good, Kodjo. I'm glad that you chose tapestry as an approach to the prompt of texture. I learned in reviewing the other poems and comments that texture comes from the latin texere, to weave. And I guess textile does too. So this is perfect. Thanks for sharing with us at dVerse.
