Patchwerk

A Poem by Jared

Stitched together

A mismatch of hundreds of shreds

Sown together sloppily

by inexperienced hands.

Ripping at the seems.

Piece by Piece

It loses any recognizable traits.

The beauty used to be astounding

vibrant colors

soft like velvet

But now

It is heavily distressed

tearing,ripping

all of it's former splendor lost

to the past.

I wonder now how much longer it has

how much longer it has

before it is gone

just a shadow

of what could have been.

Falling apart like patchwork.

brilliant piece...the metaphor was really quite amazing! only thing - you spelled ''patchwork'' as ''patchwerk'' in your title!
