Best Wool Poems

Cleaning out one of your drawers,
I remove your beautiful woven sweaters
     one    by    one
    pausing           to hold up to my face
the blue...

In January’s chill, my woe is exposed 
Like a mesh of rough woolen lint
Hanging on thick icicles when hours pale ;
As brittle fleece of dreariness
Grips my pores, longing for a cashmere night.

Percy pig was feeling quite shaken -
He'd heard pigs were slaughtered for bacon
Turning white as a sheet
He then started to bleat
As a sheep could he be mistaken!

When my knitting queen aunt
Feels that needlework pull,
She starts knitting some squares
Using leftover wool.

They’re rectangles, really,
With colorful stripes,
Their patterns and stitches 
Of similar types.

Then when there are enough,
Using needle and thread,
She will sew them together 
To cover a bed.

If no blanket’s requested
By someone she knows,
To...

I saw them shyly standing naked in the field
Embarrassed that their wool they had to yield
I wondered, who was the first to shear a sheep?
And then to make a coat that they could keep?
On to other things, the sheep I soon forgot
Until the next time...

He thought she loved him as the dense clouds of wool filled his mind,
but she was there for only one thing, to fleece him of his money.
A dyed in the wool sex addict, an easy mark, she knew his kind,
but he knew her too, every...

   I exclaimed, "Really!  Wow! You sure?  No Bull?"

	****'s Wool *
	Written: By Tom Wright

	Deep thoughts often dormant lie,
	In un-swept corners of my mind.
	Unless God, awakens by and by,
	"Dust Bunnies" are all I find.
	
	I seek today thoughts not oppressed,
	Not simply enticing words or frill.
	Nor as ****'s wool to be expressed,
	But thoughts worthy of ink...

No voter gets an even break.
No truth may they apprise.
Taken to school
To play the fool...
Wool pulled o’er their eyes....

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.

since he sat woolgathering at Christmas
henry has set himself a task
every day he would knit the family together
each and every one
perhaps they won't needle him too much.

He was deep in love, immersed 
in the charms of her disguise.
Blinded by her words, rehearsed,
he saw not beyond her lies.
She pulled wool over his eyes!
