Yes or Knot
Yes or Knot
-Linda Lee Lyberg
Let yes be knot
Unraveling
Ripping through negative strands
And knot the assembling
Of boulders slipping
Through my hands.

Paul hosts dVersetonight and want us to throw grammar overboard with inspiration from Gertrude Stein and ee cummings.
Author’s Note: Not sure about how many rules I broke, but I made the attempt!

I love it. There are multiple meanings suggested to my eyes by the use of the word Knot. Very clever.

Unraveling / ripping / assembling / slipping… The contrasts and word usage are knot to be overlooked here! This is as intricate as a scout’s knot with layers of meaning slipped throughout.

I really like what you’ve done with the prompt here. So many times, the no, the not, is like a knot, unraveling. As someone else said, multiple meanings here….that negative person, that negative, pessimistic one, tied up in knots indeed.
