So, I skipped over Day 18 as I am not quite satisfied with the poem I am working on for that prompt. I will return to it soon (because it will drive me crazy to have left a blank spot!)
For today, the prompt is to take the word thread and add words in from of it to create the title of the poem... then (obviously!) write the poem.
The Last Thread
seams that bore the weight
of our relationship
began to take our shape over time
carefully stitched, mended
when the fabric was stretched taut
I heard the sound of velvet tearing
there I was, trying
to keep this garment presentable
long past the point
it needed
to be ripped into strips, used
as dusting rags but I couldn’t notice
until the last thread had been broken
