Carpets And Rugs


I’m a big lover of carpets and rugs,

weavings woven for comfort or art.


Weavers can tell if the work was worth it.

Their product is; so may weavers be rich.


I can tell how good weavings feel,

very: the heft, the depth, the wool,


The shelter they offer from all below,

or outside, if they hang on a door,


And the lift they give if put on a wall,

where they hang for show.


Arabs know this, as do Persians. 

Everyone knows In the Middle East:


How good a rug is for the home and soul

to sit on.
