Tapestry upon the wall
Finely woven
With human flesh
Dyed with blood
hatred
Disgust, sorrow,
and failure.
No human hands have wrought it
Arachnid's pincers
Instead
Tiny threads of spider silk
Instilling highest fears.
The tapestry grows longer
Added new horrors
To the image
Of a wolf
Howling at the blue moon.

Offense? Nah. The new outlook was interesting!

I am so sorry I thank you very much for being in good sport and not taking offense to my overactive mind rearranging the meaning of your poem.

Tapestry upon the wall
Finely woven
With human flesh
(I figured to be a shadow)
Dyed with blood
hatred
Disgust, sorrow,
and failure.
(Multi-hued shadows by light differientations)
No human hands have wrought it
(the moon isn't human)
Arachnid's pincers
Instead
Tiny threads of spider silk
Instilling highest fears.
(Moonlight is silvery and so ais spiders silk in light.)
The tapestry grows longer
Added new horrors
(shadows enlongate)
To the image
Of a wolf
Howling at the blue moon.
(and shadows don't always look like what they silhouette)
I am sorry to have completely misunderstood your write.
~genielassie~ -
Yes, but where did you get moonlight? The idea was more like.... I dunno, Id just wind up writing the poem again.
-
Sorry to have misinterpreted. It happens sometimes with poetry.
-
Umm....moonlight? You missed the point entirely...
-
Moonlight certainly does look like tapestries of spider silk. A gorgeous metaphor!
Best wishes... ~genielassie~ -
good job
Interesting write. Not typical, which is good. Somewhat metaphoric, wheter it was intentional or not, or i may just perceive it in a different way as most. Good job here, not brilliant, but worth the read, and a good way to spend my time, thanks, Crackertl82 -
Sweet
This was cool. The metaphors in it were spectacular. At first I imagine this as being something to ceal with the Holocaust, but it had a cool encing. It leaves a lot to the imagination to draw from your poem. I like that, a poem that makes you think a little bit. Good job. Great luck in the contest. I hope the host or hostess likes this poem and gives you a fair complement.

0.0 Its a metaphor, danny.

Short, but powerful. Yuck, lol I thought you couldn't stand hearing about spiders and such and your writing about it. Well like Rose said very nice imagery.
-
Oooh, nice one, darlin'. I'd say Fury will like this one, if he reads it. Nice little imagery you have here. You think so much like I do sometimes. Lovely little write.
