Caroline Lohrey Poet Free verse

{spinning Wheel}

spinning wheel.
round, round.
hypnotizing.
never ending.
your mind bending.
spinning.
the wool turns to yarn.
from big to small.
transforming.
circles over circles
moving.
stand still.
spinning wheel.
simple minded.
complicated.
igneous.
calm the mind.
work the fingers.
smooth thread.
rough ramouillet.
round, round.
spinning wheel.

Autumn Rose Wood January 8, 2009 at 10:46 AM You are right. I did enjoy this. You might want to check your spelling though. I have a hard time with that aspect of writing as well. Thanks for the nice comment and for introducing me to your wonderful poetry.

Daver Austin December 23, 2008 at 1:55 PM I like this, but how did igneous ever get into the wheel? HOT! Metamorphosis perhaps, change of physical form? Whatever. Congrats on this selection. Love, daver

Keith Bickerstaffe December 9, 2008 at 10:25 AM Please take a look at 'The Morning Speaks With Skylarks Singing' if you get a chance... K. (parentheses... as good a reason as any! Good luck with your poetry... I'll be watching!)

Caroline Lohrey December 9, 2008 at 10:14 AM Thank you very much for the wonderful encouragement! I am very new to poetry, So I wasn't sure how I did. Keith, I put the title in parentheses becuase I like how it looks! :0) And Amy, I got my insipration from my mother, she still "Spins" yarn, yes, it is still a thing people do!

Keith Bickerstaffe December 9, 2008 at 9:50 AM 'igneous,' 'ramouillet,' ...marvelous word choices. A propulsive flow, again with the '-ing' verbs. Why did you put your title in parentheses? ...just wonderin'. A cool piece! Best wishes, Keith (PS feel welcome now? I hope so!)

Amy Swanson December 9, 2008 at 9:19 AM I like this, great visual! I love those old spinning wheels, reminds me of the one my grandmother used to have, as a kid I would love to spin it around and around, as you so well stated, hypnotized by it. Thanks for sharing and happy holidays! God bless, Amy :)
