Premium Member Spinning Yarns
Fire burning, keeps me warm While outside brews a big snowstorm Now all I need to be complete Are knitted socks upon my feet I thought I'd have them on by now I'd knit my own but don't know how Will you teach me how someday?

Spinning Yarns
Jimmy warned Pinks of her dangerous inclinations of chugging too close to the capricious edge, but she kept laughing and refused to listen until she skid and bounced down the hill. Jimmy retrieved her in an unrecognisable state with a torn coat, ripped pinafore and a muddy face, ready to be brandished by her strictest paternal Aunt-a...

Premium Member Yarns of a Seafaress
Hemingway’s famous “Old Man and the Sea” Simply couldn’t hold a candle to me I caught Ahab’s great white whale Did some surfing on his tail Made him jump through hoops ‘fore I set him free In Scotland I gave Nessie a big scare As with my huge net, the beast...

Yarns of a Dream
Come, let us go to dark green forests deep where death is no more terrible than sleep; where life is without labor, care or pain, no one gets sick, grows old or dies in vain; where honey drips from trees, tame game abound, there's singing, dancing, loving all year round; where the boughs droop, burdened by luscious fruits and grassy grounds burst...
