Laurits Andersen Ring - An Old Woman From Lille Næstved Knitting

Nestled in her old chair- world outside her window and indoor plants, a sign of life- she knits. Fingers work their magic- grant her moments purpose; then reminiscing years gone by- tears flow.

Oh my, this is a very nostalgic and heartfelt write with deep emotions that come associated with the picture.. You've described it's essence so well whilst weaving this eloquent cinquain poem.. "A sign of life-she knits" That's so evocative.. "Then reminiscing years gone by - tears flow" Ah, that ending is so poignant.. A brilliant take for the contest, dear!
