Crochet Needle

The crochet needle is stuck in the wool-

it's soft but tangled 'round my last prayer.

It's caught, like a robin in a thorn bush-

I can't pull it through without unraveling.

The crochet needle is stuck in the wool-

it can't be freed from this gentle restraint.

It's waiting, like a child in the cold rain-

I can't finish the scarf for you, Mama.

The crochet needle is stuck in the wool-

trapped in fragile confines like the rest.

It's spring violets may go well with blues-

throw it in with my unfinished sweater.

A crochet needle struggling to fulfilled it task. Need to find answers to be able to be back on track. The poem made me wish to know more. Thank you Anna for sharing the amazing poetry.

We all maybe a thorn or needle in the layers of life.. We just need to find a way to be unstuck or let God make us unstuck in life... Thank you for sharing

I love it Anna.
