Just a strand looped
and manipulated
unto a lone purpose;
To anchor.
Concocted of tenacity, flexibility,
and forgiveness, lest it need be cut
to loosen its hold.
Who can be undone
with so little effort yet
be expected never to fail?
One single knot.

Oh, the twisted stories to come.
Since so many other online writers have blogs dedicated to their writings, I’ve decided to jump onto the bandwagon. All posts published here will be either fiction or poetry, some new, and some previously published on various places on the Internet. Some of my works are conventional, and some are quirky. All fiction posted here, except for fan fiction, will include the letters "rose" somewhere, as a tribute to my Baba.
Ups and down everyday, let us make dailyliving normal.
Or not, depending on my mood

Tenaciously flexible and forgiving…just what every knot SHOULD be. Great work, Susan.
Much appreciated, Ron. 😊
This is wondrous and deep. I enjoyed reading it!
Thank-you, Lucy. I keep discovering layers of meaning that I hadn’t intended. I love when that happens!
Well done, Susan
Your knot quadrille is so neatly tied, Susan. So much can depend on a simple ‘strand looped and manipulated’.
Thank-you Kim. 😊
Playing with words and ideas Susan -You have had so many great pieces .It may be time to do more with them-I see a new Shel Silverstein
Thanks. That comparison is humbling.
So much can depend on one knot! Nicely tied together.
😁 Thanks
You’re welcome!
I really liked your description in this. Strength and flexibility at the same time. Nice poem.
Truly appreciated! It was a direct look at a knot with a twist. 😉
I love how you made the story of the knot to something so much more than the loop of a rope.
Thanks. Knots are perfect metaphors!
Bless you for not writing the umpteenth quadrille about knots in stomachs. 🙂 Great existential conundrum at the end.
Thanks!
A wonderful take on the prompt, personifying the knot. I love the perspective.
Thank you kindly.
This is a wonderful perspective.
Thank you very much. Your opinion is held in high regard!
