The Scarf

Winter swirls on the morning mist Undulating clouds blowing west. Cobwebs clear with a forceful fist Winter swirls on the morning mist A snatch of red wool to untwist Caught in an updraft on the crest Winter swirls on the morning mist Undulating clouds blowing west The glow of lights beckoning home A snatch of red wool on the hook Soggy from the day’s windy roam The glow of lights beckoning home Curled before the fire alone Sweet calico purrs in the nook The glow of lights beckoning home A snatch of red wool on the hook

Great poem. I like the near rhymes of the est and ist. Does the scarf my a round trip journey. You were asking if I write for children, and I could ask the same question after reading about the Leaf Sheep Sea Slug - or I could ask if you are a teacher?

I do write children's stories but I'm not a teacher. I'm also not really a poet. I'm much more of a storyteller. But I like creating poems within specific parameters, like the Triolet. It's very good practice for flash fiction and children's rhymes. And I like poetrysoup! A very nice community of people! You should write for children. You have the knack for it. I can see it in your poems.
