Argyle

Prose/Experimental

Two socks...
One for each foot.
Threads meticulously knitted
as shapes take form
to be a part of the whole
it will eventually become
Two socks...
One for each foot.
Much needed comfort
with protection from harsh
and raw landscape
a warmth when there is chill.
Two socks...
One for each foot.
both displaying parts
of a grand design
in diamonds.
A girls best friend.

This poem is rich to the brim with excellent metaphors which goes deeper than just diamond shaped cloth patterns of socks or others. It is about the fabric of life which is cotton soft love knitted in the heart with exquisite threads that keeps us warm and comfortable. This grand design is one of nature's best ones . I think you are saying in this poem or prose that love has to fit right with the right shape and with the warmth - comfort aspect and be a part of the whole fabric of life...An excellent write...Thank you for sharing...:)

"love has to fit right with the right shape and with the warmth - comfort aspect and be a part of the whole fabric of life"

A girls best friend being diamonds I think they should rethink that idea. but the socks make sens

[Rogue]

There's a bit of word play in that, Tate. The fabric design of the socks is argyle. Argyle is a diamond pattern.
Thank you for stopping by and reading. :)

you are welcome

You weave a pattern beautifully throughout this poem, Rogue - got a vibe of "two becoming one" here. Like that reference at the end - while a man might long for a nice pair of socks, diamonds are still a girl's best friend! Enjoyed this!

[Rogue]

Thanks you, Rita. They were just some loose thoughts... Of an old socks reference, good friends and a perfect fit. :)

Argyle is a beautiful part of my beloved Scotland. Two socks is a wolf and his is simply a beautifully pathos ridden poem about socks that you wear on your feet. Oh with a sly reminder about a girls best friend thrown in for good measure. Oh and its about protection as well.

[Rogue]

Hahahahahaha
How you see through every word always truly amazes me. I always love your reviews. :)
Of course, I have no air of mystery anymore (did I ever?). :P
And protection is not necessarily from just outside forces... Sometimes it is about protecting one from one's self. Pointing the way and putting the feet on the right path. With comfortable socks, of course. :D

[Rogue]

Now perhaps I do and in our socks too!
Thank you, Quinn. :)
