National Poetry Month, day 6

Right at this moment, I don't think this poem is worth the time I've spent on it. Maybe I'll feel better about it when I've got some distance. Regardless, I've written a poem that didn't exist before! I still win!

Interlacing hook and thread
do the work and be the play
to reach another watershed

shimmering with sunlight dread
ball unwinds at end of day
Interlacing hook and thread

draw aside, be misled
not a promise to betray
to reach another watershed

the pattern or the yarn misread
so far yet to go astray
Interlacing hook and thread

going where I feel most led
no one has the right of way
to reach another watershed

far too much is left unsaid
growth mingles with decay
Interlacing hook and thread
to reach another watershed
