Christuraj Alex Poet Rhyme

On Gloves and Mittens

Gloves keep one's fingers and hands clean and hazard-free,
Mittens do the same too; both are good; all agree;
The difference looks petty betwixt these; great, yet,
One is more flexible; the other is more set...!

Those used gloves might not like mittens this is a truth.
And vice versa is those who used mittens in youth,
Those in gloves use their hands and each finger and work,
While those in mittens sit idly and all work shirk...!

Those who are not used to gloves their mittens adore,
The whole thought, yet, is not this; the moral is more:
Leave your self-built castles and see the wide wild world,
You will see secrets of nature getting unfurled...!!!

CayCay Godwin February 1, 2026 at 8:13 PM This poem marches to the beat of a different drummer & that's my fav kind. My muse is high from it. The mittens vs gloves debate is one me, myself and I have had but alas, 'tis a diversion to get us into the woods. The last lines are unforgettable because they snuck up on me. The poem is a 'let's have fun with rhyme letting it free fall mind insane & smile gained, let's create some spunky jumpy funky and see who's listening. Oh, I'm having 2 much fun because I get silly at this hour. LIKE+++

Sally Eslinger January 8, 2023 at 9:22 PM Aha! Great fun and in winter timely, too! I use gloves as well as mittens depending as you said, on how much work i have to do, like type, draw or sew. With me, sometimes Jim keeps the house so cold, i wear mittens to bed at night! Yikes! I much enjoyed this flowing work of your witty pen!
