Tattersall ... Spin

Today’s word “tattersall” ... tat-er-sawl ... a pattern of squares formed by colored crossbars on a solid-color, usually light background. (Dictionary.com)

Spin

All the patterns that we make,

Are predictable and plain,

At least the tattersalls and plaids,

That horsemen wear down lanes.

But nature's plans stun and surprise,
Few right angles to be found,
Where intricacies and wonders,
Everywhere abound.
