excellent!

Slipped stitches in the tangle
of our blood line
leave loosened fibers in the
weakened weave,

~~I love the way this entire passage rolls off the tongue when read aloud. Your poem caused me pause to think about my own ancestors and the genetic legacy ( you know what I'm talking about) I am struggling with even now.

You are consistently a terrific poet. I don't know why that surprises me....well, it doesn't. I look forward to opening your poems like they are gifts just for me. :)

Beautiful!

Gave it a five. I contain multitudes, too, and I wish some of them would just go away! xo

I like

a few of the expressions used in this piece. Especially the second part (I don't know the fancy term for the second part). The read also sounds good to my Espie ears, meaning the flow, starts and stops used in the line separation, and the consonant matching (slipped stitches, for example).

It is a start, an explanation, and then the final question.

I like it but wondered whether it might work as well with or without the first stanza, the title communicates so much.

Having seen my family tree written down we found one or two 'slipped stitches'! Lovely poem enjoyed it very much

Yowzers! This one is deserving of it's five. Not much I can add except that MAYBE you could have cut the 'of our' before 'lineage' but this is me being picky. Getting a recommend.

Good poem

I liked this poem especially the ending stanza, beautiful. Poor little black sheep.
