It’s a struggle to find the red string
among tangled threads that make up
the tapestry of life.
Like a lost feeling
among an amalgam of emotions held up
by the humdrum of everyday life.
And it’s getting harder to pretend
that there is a red string
when it all seems colorless.
NaPoWriMo 2023. Inspired by the book cover of The Loom of Destiny. Arthur Stringer. Boston: Small, Maynard & Company, 1899
They say you can’t judge a book by its cover, but they never said you can’t try to write a poem based on a book cover. Take a look through Public Domain Review’s article on “The Art of Book Covers.” Some of the featured covers are beautiful. Some are distressing. Some are just plain weird (I’m looking at you, “Mr Sweet Potatoes”).
