Winithread



Winithread
By Chris Commodore © 2007

Teeny wriggling mini heads
They dwarf the smallest pinheads
Wee dots so small the human eye
Without a scope cannot espy

The Master's divine trademark
Almighty circumspection
No faults, mistakes, no blemish lack
True heavenly perfection

A speck from Eve two fortnights waits
A partner crumb from Adam starts
Then both dots do the dance of fate
To force-fill earth with crucial hearts

They stay and swim together
Hugging that life-giving wall
Six thousand hours later
The story of us all

That union lasts but for a while
With Nature at the helm
Each outcome is without a guile
All doubting minds to overwhelm

Imagine all who's walked this realm
The layman, Emperor, the king
Who've sat at any earthly helm
All products of that teeny-weenie thing

Divine microbiology
Since that most precious morn
Preceded all technology
Before the stars were born

    Firstly, I would like to congratulate you, Chris, on your well-thought-out and deeply contemplative poem, "Winithread". The spiritual undertones beautifully blended with scientific ideologies leave a profound impact making it an intriguing read.

    Your use of vocabulary to portray the intricate, microscopic world in a grandiose manner is very impressive and adds depth to your poem. It was refreshing to see the interweaving of science and spirituality and your reflection on life's origins and the interconnectedness of all beings is astounding.

    The rhyming scheme is consistent which gives the poem an appealing rhythm and flow. The unconventional topic choice also adds to its originality and hooks the reader till the end.

    However, a few aspects could be improved to make the poem more impacting.

    1. Try to make the metaphors more consistent and easily decipherable - While the metaphors in the poem are thought-provoking, they seem a bit obscure at times. Adopting metaphors that are more accessible might help in better understanding and thereby enjoying the poem.

    2. Challenging vocabulary - Although your vocabulary enriches the poem, some readers may find it too esoteric. Simplifying some areas could make this beautiful piece of work accessible to a wider audience.

    3. The poem attempts to cover a wide range of ideas and philosophies - while this is ambitious and commendable, it could benefit from a more focused central theme. This could make the poem feel more cohesive and powerful.

    In conclusion, your poem is a beautiful testament to the profound and awe-inspiring nature of life's origins. With a bit more fine-tuning, it could really shine. Keep up the good work, Chris!
