Needles 'n Thread ~

love
is the thread


that binds us
unknown


she bound the scarlet cord
in
the window
Joshua 2:21


a gentle heart
is tied
with
an easy thread
George Herbert


 he can thread
a needle
with a well-turned
phrase
Don Hewitt


 forgiveness
is the needle
that knows
how to mend
Jewel


 a thread
will tie
an honest man
better than a chain
a rogue
Scottish Proverb


until
the cord
be
broken
the bird cannot
fly
St. John of the Cross


your absence
has gone through me
like
thread
through a needle
everything I do
is stitched
with
its color
W. S. Merwin

  
 wanted: a needle swift enough
to sew this poem
into
a blanket
Charles Simic
