Knitting of evil shuttle
Looming silently....

A tapestry of the cold....

Into interesting interview, 
Judging juries justice
Knitting knights....

Placid icy waters flow
Rhythmically laps the shore
Knitting icy lace

mood
   spontaneity 
of an arrested
moment
 
 knitted
      together
with
     experiential
 symmetry...

mother sits     knitting

Minutes eleven
soon it will be seven,
time is ticking, 
I like knitting,
I have a horse,
do you like my porsche,
time is divine,
will you be mine?...

Grandma alway's relaxed

watching us play....

There was this old lady, drinking soup
She was also knitting, loop by loop
She ran out of yarn
Screamed and said- "Oh Darn!"
Started dunking needles in ball hoop!...

I skipped my knitting group two weeks ago
alas, I had zero progress to show.............

But I explained (it did fascinate her)
knowing I'm a big procrastinator ;-)...

Nanna is a nice word.
Nickname for mom's mother.
Never too far to reach.
Nearby to help you out.
Needing advice or care.
Needles clicking knitting.
Nice tiny tot booties....

Gone from my humble home.
Girls have finally grown.
Getting much older now.
Great expectations here.
Granny in waiting me.
Good knitting baby things.
Great for babysitting....

When words don't help
Knit and purl the agony out
Your hands will learn how

Knitting gives me pleasure.
Keeping me occupied.
Keen to create with some
Kaleidoscope colors.
Knowing cold winter has
Kinfolk's teeth chattering.
Knackered knitting for them....

Starting dreams with you in mind
As my thoughts begin to wind
Themselves about,
Braiding lines of poetry
From unconscience realization,
Knitting mufflers of hope
From reassurance....

Will you read
the snow on the grass knitting
the big eyebrows

of moon at night
which will never know hidden
hands of a wetland ?

The tears implant
green circles on cheek.
Spring was coming back....

I see our time,
and, around it
a door.

Latchless hinging
on the thimble 
thumbs of 
two children.

I run into you
a needle,
arive behind
you a thread,
undone in my 
knitting,
stained red....

She sits there, knitting
It’s the same deal with worker bees
A continuous addition, to completion
Shameful, that I keep tugging this loose thread
She's knitting for nothing
I think she knows too
Stubborn woman...

they were staying at grandma’s when mama had her litter
She was knitting a green sweater, their sweet babysitter
Who is the yarn puller? She asked both of the kittens.
If you keep doing that, you will not get any mittens!...

If you can’t stand the criticism
put down your pen
Instead take up knitting
but caution the thread
Too thick and your stifled
too thin and your bare
As needles purl over
—what hides in despair

(Dreamsleep: October, 2022)...

Come one, come all! I've got a deal for you!
Some gently used poems for you to review!
Though some came out wrong
There yours for a song
I'm switching to knitting, so sad but true...



For Skat's contest......
