Vietnamese poets
Who would wonder why the poem Woman Knitting was written . This is a kind of poem that touches the heart of a reader . The poem was written by a Vietnamese poet . The poem basically tackles about a typical woman and her usually-done hobby . One of the themes of the poem is about the life of a person . Life is like knitting . Life journey is too long and has no meaning or significance like a roll of wool . At first it is like the other ordinary thread . As life goes by the thread slowly becomes

a meaningful thing that is form through knitting . In knitting , the thread crosses and even cut . Well , like life , we have all the ups and downs . We never knew what will the world has to offer . Definitely only the one knitting knows what she is doing and what she will do with the thing Like God , He is the only one who knows what is happening to our lives We do not have controls . What God has allowed us to happen is always the best thing that will give us the reason for living .

Or the last parting ' tells us that every moment we spend with our loved ones should be cherish . We should not waste time for maybe that time will be the last time together . The woman never looks up . Even though the poem did not literally say that the woman is reminiscing the past we can clearly say that she is looking back either the past memories which is the first meeting or the last parting . When a person is alone he /she will have the tendency to imagine the future or remember the past memories . This instance gives him /her the strength to survive . The past memories give us hope in the future . And , it is nice to reminisce the past . It gives us the picture that life is beautiful and has meanings
One of the themes that really strike in poem is the theme about peace (cooperation . In knitting , the threads are bind as one . The hands of the knitter should be well coordinated so that the final product will...
