About the Poem

Read it out. Read it outside. Read it out loud. Read it out to a friend. This is the wonderful world we have been given to live in.

Open Weave

by Ted Reynolds

Cast a spell
weave it well
of sun and flower
and summer's power
bind it fine
with briar and vine
and creeper's length
and autumn's strength
wrap it slow
with frost and snow
and gently tie it
with winter's quiet
and then spread wide
on every side
from mist and dew
spring's garb anew
