Wow! Perfect simile..... Until I read the last and the heart of the poem: I perceived that you are describing a petty issue our day to day actions in a poetic slang and at last when the correlation has been shown up in the last stanza, I liked it all! Very professional....
Hi David, Nice poem. One has to wear a suitable near vision spectacles to read and also thread the needle and better visualization. Likewise to solve a problem, have a broad mind, open for various possibilities!
amazing poem Sir with a beautiful message in the end. You have so nicely compared Life with the eye of the needle. How true only patience prevails in this uncertain world. Really a nice one!
I have tried so many times to thread the needle, sometimes it is just difficult to do. nice write
A beautiful analogy! With advancing years, it is so difficult to thread a needle... it requires immense patience! Solving the problems that come to us one by one also demands immense patience! Enjoyed this write which has employed a unique comparison! !
Life can be a bit like threading cotton through the Eye of a needle Beautifully put. Use a sewing machine which has automatic threading. Man can always create a device that makes difficult tasks easy. But we can't create a device for life. Another needle analogy. Life is like picking a needle in the haystack. Nice poem. Thank you David.
How true you are David. Wonderful words and one to truly save. Thank you
A great poem, life can really be like threading a needle, you have your aims in life, you miss, but you always get there in the end.
Patience and perseverance are certainly very useful qualities to possess in today's world, and one definitely needs them when trying to thread a needle.
Thought provoking write, we always dare to do things our own way and discover that at the end the result is not what we expected!
