Couplets in A Ball of Red Yarn

Prompt at Monday's Child( Jessica Wilcox Smith , 1863-1935,ills.

Let's play cat's cradle
with a yarn as red as flame.

Help me to unwind this heart

so we can start the game.

As my fingers dance and weave,

if by chance you do the same,

we'll knit a dream of peace

and that's the place we'll claim --

A basket for two hearts

and Love will be its name.
