An ode to a seam ripper Sewing Machines Parts and Sales in Los Angeles

(I’m in college for education, and in my teaching composition class we were given a prompt to write a poem about an inanimate object. After percolating for about two minutes, this popped out. Thought you guys might feel the same way!)

An ode to a seam ripper

Truly, you are the most gracious of all tools.

An egg can’t be un-fried.

A glass can’t be un-shattered

But you can make things right.

You fix things

It’s what you were made to do.

You don’t ask who did it (you know it was me)

Or how it got this way to begin with

And time is nothing to you.

Even if it’s been days, months, years.

It makes no difference.

You can unravel it to the start

And make it new again.
