Started off with a lark's head knot
Birds of a feather, so we thought
But we were half-hitched
And too loosely stitched
Our dreams switched
Our cords caught
***
The nest of knots we were building
Became a tangled spiraling
Lost the leading strand
Slipped right through our hands
Couldn't land
Left hanging
Author's Note: Decided this was a good way to wrap up my accidental "M" artwork inspired poetry trilogy (Mosaic, Mural, Macrame) while also tying into the breakup nonets.
A Clogyrnach is a sestet stanza with lines of 8, 8, 5, 5, 3, and 3 syllables that uses an AABBBA rhyme scheme.
Check out the other poems in the "M" artwork series below.
