Best Mittens Poems

Fog came early to Nebraska,
and slender churches became hidden.
Pastors came out of them with scarves,
their children tight-dressed 
                       and with white mittens.


Cars moved...

Gloves don't fit my hand, 
But mittens, they do, 
In growing demand
Are mittens in blue, 

Fingers must keep warm
In winter's cold freeze, 
Or I'll come to harm, 
And begin to sneeze, 

Gloves are cumbersome, 
They take time to wear, 
And out they won't come, 
When...

Can a master potter make fashionable pots?
Can a carpenter carve any unique design?
Could Yayoi Kusama, the princess of polka dots,
Make art-works, with mittens on, amazingly fine...?

Fingers should be free, as one with the mind and heart.
Both physique and psyche should be in hand and glove.
No...

Mittens and Madness


If it gets any “hotter”
I’m gonna freeze my ass off.!!!
Minus ten degrees,
wind chill factor minus 35 degrees,
my freakin’ carbon footprint is iced over,
I’m wearing a hat……..in the freakin’ house.
It’s all “settled” science.
Kinda like that dispute in fourth grade
was “settled”…..I had a black eye,
a...

Soft and pink little mittens 

on a hands of an angel,

reminds me of a delightful feeling 

when I gave life last December.

Four pairs of  little mittens,

made my life a worth to remember....

I SAID BURN THOSE MITTENS, NOT KITTENS
  
So isn't it cute the way newborn kittens can't open their eyes
    eyes like the government has on all of us...................
pass a red light and they take a picture of you
and then you pay...

Armed by protective sensibility
I offer my warming security
Around loving protective certainty
Insured with comfortable serenity.

I’m your mittens, full of vibrant beauty
Ready to fulfill my granted duty
Prepared by orphanage authority
To guard kids from infectious germs so dirty.

I serve as your gloves of identity 
With embroidered names, daintily...

The 3 Little Kittens who lost their mittens
I hope you don't believe that stuff
They only told you part of the story
But they just didn't tell you enough

You see, those 3 kittens were on parole
For knocking over a catnip store
They already had plenty at home
But those...

Mittens or Gloves


Nothing much has ere been written
About the virtues of the mitten
Knit or fabric, long or wide
Made to tuck your hands inside

Warm and toasty I am told
For when as one they all do fold
Tucked together with each other
Lined up one after another

But then of...

I will never give up my warm mittens-
for those stiff and so awkward gloves,
for mittens are warm like kittens.
I will never ... give up my warm mittens!
Oh, gloves I will not be missin'
for any kind are not my loves.
I will never give up my...

My children and their mittens they lose them all the time
They can't keep ahold of them no matter what they do
They put them in their pockets and they fall out
They put them on their dresser and they forget them
They put them in their closet and...

Of WHAT USE ARE FINGERS TO HANDS THAT ONLY UNDERSTAND MITTENS

I have a bunion and an ingrown toe nail;
I’m a blind man wearing glasses and I can’t find them;
My hair is so short that I am bald;
My spine so straight I am tall;
I have a...

Dedicated to my Moma

Mom’s loving hands made precious Barbie’ clothes,
my son’s small sweater I display in pose,
and our blanket of unique square patterns.
Our cute child animal mittens were cool.
Wool surrounds me, comforts me, love is wool.
