frost colored leaves crumble beneath my feet
low november clouds above
chilliness in the air

Kittens

kittens and mittens,
claws and paws,
look at that messy yarn all over the barn,
all over the barn,
look at the kittens fur so high,
why the puppies chase them!

Premium Member A Cat Lady In Cincinnati

An old lady in Cincinnati
Is mean, vindictive and chatty
She has fifty-three kittens
She calls them all Mittens
It’s no wonder she’s frazzled and catty

Saturday In the Schoolyard

Lined up like third-graders 
on the fence of a deserted ballfield
after a week of Indian summer – 
cast-off sweaters, mittens, coats.
From a treetop, birds recite
the morning lesson.


A Prelude To Winter

Bundled in mittens and ****,
A scarf on my face to my nose,
My breath coming out in a puff
And icicles under my toes – 
It’s winter, and I’m about froze!

Premium Member Watching Three Waddling Ducks

Three ducks waddling through the snow
I see their bare feet and hope they do not have far to go
Where is the pond? Is their habitat gone?
I wish they had mittens, coats and tiny boots on

Premium Member Little Mittens In December

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.

Premium Member SASSAFRAS IN FALL

woodlands wait by the edge
where sassafras' three-lobed foliage flares up
like mittens in striking papaya and gold
tiger butterflies, squirrels, and birds flock
beguiled by the pendulous clusters of berries

Soul Food

When I am working in the kitchen
Removing my warm mittens
Pouring and measuring
Mixing and stirring
Preparing a sumptuous meal
Of some curry or veal
And when asked for seconds
My eyes glitter like diamonds

toasty variegated yarn from Oskaloosa
the hues of colors
red blue yellow green
knitting needles are clicking along

warm mittens and slippers
afghans and shawls
a dress for a toddler
clickety clack clickety clack

Premium Member I thought spring was here

My hands are cold today
Is it freezing outside?
I open the door and wind hits me hard
My head whips back
I thought spring was here
Until it arrives, I am keeping this door closed
And wearing mittens made by grandma

Premium Member Do You Want Mitten S Or Not

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!

Premium Member Snow Faeries

Dazzle, Delight and Diamond, of the same litter,
Snow faeries teach others to make snow into blue-white glitter.
Enjoying winter, especially when the cold is bitter,
They are wearing snow mittens from a well-known knitter.

Our Snow Angel

              reflect love in icicles-
                               angel in the snow

The Mitten Knitting Poem

I am a mitten knitter
And I love mitten knitting
I knit to keep your hands warm during those long cold winter nights
I am a mitten knitter
And I love knitting mittens
Mitten knitting and knitting mittens is my passion
I am a mitten knitter

Premium Member Dedicated To Barry and Peggy In Sos Titanic

Whistle... and I'll come to you...
Through the sea, across the land

And with my mittens, 
Warm your hand



[Inspired by reading "S.O.S. Titanic" by Eve Bunting. Read it to see.

Spring Ditty

Oh, this lovely warming trend,
mild temperatures wind does send,
flowers bud and birds awaken,
snows are past, to be forsaken,
sweaters are shed, and mittens too,
sky is now a beautiful blue,
but most of all, I think you’ll guess,
I like that now---people wear less.

Cheshire Cat Smile

Both black and white
Kittens wearing pink
Mittens, sit playfully,
While facing the
Enchanted mirror
To their great surprise,
Those lovely kitten eyes
Witness a paper tiger
Appearing in the mirror
With a great big 
Cheshire cat smile
Then, asking, who
Are you

Seasons Ii

Came
snow flakes
onto hands
grown arthritic,
hands wanting mittens.

Flaunting, frigid Mother
displaying her wicked winds
with a thoughtless ferocity.

Only a crackling fire brought
a heart lifting in anticipation.
