Needling

 

Making jokes

of little things,

a thimble on a counter,

a pin cushion pricked,

creating chuckles

on a thread

spun of someone’s poetry

Wound around a feeling,

stitched together with emotions,

created from a pattern of love

Sewn with sincerity

only so another

can laugh,

has ripped the fabric

of this that

was fashioned

I love the way you've taken the idea of snarky, "needling" humor and turned it to a romantic theme.

Brother, there hasn't been one I didn't admire. ..

[willweb]

I truly appreciate that.

Cruel when someone cuts laughs at someone seriously sewing their raw emotions out. A piece is sewn out of seriousness one really put together but laughed away cause one doesn't see all time and emotion that went along with it. Well done!

if we intend humor, we want the laughs, but if we write seriously and others make fun of what is in our heart...that is the cruelest rip of the fabric.

[willweb]

It sure does feel that way at times Jacob. Thanks so much.
