Ode to a Pom Pom (The Rabbit That Never Was)

To my friend, Ellie H, who was there when it happened and asked me to write this. 

Wool
Upon wool
wrapped around cardboard
thread become knotted
yet unwinding
at the same time


Doomed
from the second layer
sighing to itself
life isn't fair


Cut around
and tied
small
messy
no ears
eyes or tail
Simply put?


What a fail.
