Yarn

Yards of colored fiber,
Yielding to knitter's will.
Yank in front of kitten,
Yes, it will attack it.
Yarn made of wool will scratch,
Yet makes warmer clothing.
Yardage differs with type.

Oh wow, this is so good Kim. Being in the textile industry in my younger days, the word Skein comes to mind, a word we used for the thickness of yarn. LOve your Pleiades poems.

Hi Kim, Your well-written write took me down memory lane; my mom crocheted a lot when I was young. I echo what Jo said; you make it look so easy. Have a wonderful evening:-) Alexis

I think you have a magic pen. I read the last line and thought, 'What an ingenious rhyme.' Looked again, there was no rhyme. Read it again, it rhymed. Whew. Maybe I was in the Twilight Zone -- or it's your magic! Kudos, Gershon
