This poem came out of the March 20, 2018 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired by a prompt from curiosity . It also fills the "wise" square in my 1/31/18 You Are card for the Valentines Bingo fest. This poem has been sponsored by a pool with ng_moonmoth , fuzzyred , and mama_kestrel . It belongs to the Yellow Unicorns series. "The Colors in His Tapestries" The wise saint in the cave is a favorite of the unicorns. They amble up his hill to graze on the wildflowers while he watches, smiling. They scratch their itches on the blackberry bushes that grow around the cave. When the unicorns have gone, the saint gathers tufts of yellow hair and spins them into rarefied yarn. He makes tapestries of holy scenes and weaves the yellow yarn to make halos for holy figures and, of course, unicorns. People pester him with questions, wanting to know how he got the colors in his tapestries. They think it's some kind of dye. He doesn't tell them otherwise.
