Just a Simple Piece of String

A piece of yarn?
What of this thing?
It’s just a simple piece of string.

This thread of blue
May have a pretty hue.
But, what else can it do for you?

It’s too frayed to pass through a needle’s eye.
It’s too short for a bow,
Don’t even try.
Can’t use it for a shoe, parcel, or anything.
It’s just a simple piece of string.

Just a simple piece of string.
What’s so special about this thing?
Well, when dragged across the floor,
And nothing more,
To a cat
It’s everything.

I liked your poem and the best part was not knowing where you were taking me...good stuff

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
