Cold wind cuts through woolen coats,

Winter following....

the cold-soaked feet under socks
woolen and heavy

blanket like clouds rolls westward
naughty woolen socks on floor
midnight eyelids make a grab
now thief has cold feet

Childhood wings kept
hanging behind closet doors
nestled in pockets
in woolen pea coats bright blue
like clear skies meant for flying....

There was a lady from Bangladesh,
Who wanted a bath to become fresh,
So she dived into a river,
But felt herself shiver,
So she swam in a thick woolen dress....

At a dead man’s throat

lies the rain drenched woolen scarf

that stifled his screams.

Cold Winds howl through decayed trees -

witnesses in the shadows....

the classic doll in woolen overcoat
her kitten heels skipping along waxed floor
her baby bobbing along in her little fist
glassy eyed and painted smile of happiness

Got my cozy woolen sweater on today
So cozy on a cold winter's night on a sleigh
Long ago that was my thing
But now my bod's in a sling
But the memories of those days linger on to this day...

Can you believe it, it can be too cold to snow
Yes, the air temps need moisture, that I didn't know
So pray for cold temps
Snow won't descend
But be sure to wear a woolen scarf on your nose...

It takes ten minutes
to dawn coat and gloves
scarves and boots and woolen caps
earmuffs and face masks
Pry open the frozen door 
and step outside
wait thirty seconds for the dog to pee
and run back into the house

A knitted quilt lays on my bed's divan
Needled by Grandma, generations ago
Its wool fiber pliant and wide enough
To keep the family cuddled in bonfire eves
Sheltering me now, her heirloom's gift.

When your spirit is woolen,
the old stains are hard to lift
Never drench this heavy wool
The shrinking soul is swift.

Trauma choose the coarse cover
For wool is as strong as steel
And sorrow filled the basin wet
No garment covers how I feel....

Happiness to me,is as easy as can be,
a doughnut and a cup of English tetley tea.
  Lying on my beige leather sofa,
Covered by a Woolen red tartan rug,
Hugging and Kissing,Fondling and snogging,
                 Just watching T.V.

     A welcome reprieve
     sunshine in January
   watching the snow melt

    across squishy ground
  remnants of winter puddles
    a young child’s heaven

  nightfall brings back snow
  return to woolen blankets
     winter’s not done yet

Consider the neck-ed creature known as the llama
A species of alpaca that lives in zoos or dioramas

Some llamas look like camels, others like sheep
Tho I've never seen one shephereded by Little-Bo-Peep

As for me, I really haven't much use for llamas
Unless I need a pair of brown woolen pajamas...

Woolen Shawls


Mothers are like woven shawls
knitted from the finest wool.
Stitch by stitch, their shapes are formed
for warmth, comfort and protection...
forever, as enduring wraps of love.

“Wet blankets, give them all”
Captain of flight X
ordered the crew
as he wrapped himself
with warm woolen blanket
When asked he said
“but this is a towel
used in bathrooms
if you want one
I give you time go get
from your homes”
coldness gnawed us
as captain snored
and dreamed
wet dreams
This is Africa airspace...

black
with out sight or light
Black universal night
fertile grounds
silence is black
lack no noise
peace is black
blueberry berry pie
Black licorice
burnt chocolate
woolen comforter
a mother's womb
African black desert soil
Unite humanity

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.

When there are two lovers
It's like a woolen blanket
Warm underneath the fabric
And quite fuzzy there too
Hands attach together below
Allowing touching to and fro
Sometimes both go under
To kiss each other unseen
Lovers love the image of a blanket
Because it's a tool that they use
To show each other the love
That they have for one another

It is almost too cold now
To be in the tops of trees
Shivering in snagged mittens
A woolen over coated ornament
Like black spotted fruit
Gone from sweet to bitter
Whipped by Autumns whining
Amidst garrulous planning birds
Fall conducts her noisy birth
So you whisper “Good Night”,
Your lips pressed against the bark
For that is where the heart is...

Hester let her say sequester-
and she feted the focus,

folks fallen inside say-

i wonder,

! plunder,

say Donner much dumber than plundering the groovy grow.

Too much woolen sleeve not enough reep!

Too much stolen ski not enough heavy peace!

Because the people will all fall over,
into fives-
into lives -
and yes baby into the night....
