The wicked weaver is at large
Designs of evil to discharge,
Threading turmoil through the warp and woof of life.
He's no concern that you should fear,
But be aware that he is near
When you see stitches in your fabric made of strife.

He does his work behind the scenes,
Deploys confusion as his means
To weave his darkness into God's redeeming light.
He picks up one unfiltered thought,
Suspends it waving 'til it's caught
By you, then spins it while the truth fades out of sight.

Fellowship becoming mangled
May be evidence you're tangled
In the patchwork of his tightly woven quilt.
Understanding is befuddled.
Unity, once strong, is muddled
As frustration grows and wisdom starts to wilt.

He's the spinner of ferhoodle
Ruining lives kit and caboodle,
Knotting them to dangle fruitless in his weave.
Twisted yarns to suit his guise
Spun on garish spools of lies,
Stand on watch for careless remnants to deceive.

So, if you're writhing in vexation
Mired in discombobulation,
But there seems to be no reason for your gloom,
You might discover the solution
To the sordid convolution
In the tapestry of Satan's evil loom.

Satan is the fabricator of confusion. Good use of the topic word.

Well done.

Great approach to the topic this well written entry.

God Bless~

You have certainly revealed the wiles of the enemy in this poem. I hope many a reader will become aware of who aims at bringing about confusion in the weave of their life.

If this were used in reaching unbelievers, it would be enhanced with one more verse dealing with how to UN-ferhoodle life...(unpick the tapestry woven by Satan).
But enjoyable also, just as it is.

While there were some inconsistancies in meter, I did not find them to detract from this excellent extended metaphor. I hope this does well.

I liked the metaphors used in this poem. The pictures that were painted gave a sense of Satan's deceptions. There is a link on Jan's writings on mentors that I thought wad helpful.

Oohs! My kindle changed ferhoodler to fertilizer. I guess both words would work.

Again congratulations.

I do so love this, said it all. Congrats

Congratulations on your 2nd place EC! Impressive. He is definitely "the author of confusion" and we would do well to "be not ignorant of his devices."
