July 9, 2024
Threads of life are spun,
Careful hands weave, twist, tangle:
Destiny unfolds

This is yet another one of my Haiku poems inspired by Greek mythology.:)
*This is 1/3 of a "thematic trilogy" I came with. Each of the 3 Haikus is inspired by 1 of the 3 Moirai!
In Greek mythology, the Moirai were the personifications of destiny. They were three sisters: Clotho [#1] (the spinner), Lachesis [#2] (the allotter) and Atropos [#3] (the inevitable, a metaphor for death).
"Clotho, the youngest of the sisters, presided over the moment in which we are born, and held a distaff in her hand; Lachesis spun out all the events and actions of our life; and Atropos, the eldest of the three, cut the thread of human life with a pair of scissors."
