A little dexterity is helpful in working with ...

 

 

 

 

 

Knitting with syllables

pen and purl

lexical needles

pattern unfurls

pencils slip stitches

pens purl clichés

scheming skeins

unpicking dreams

slip stitch sibilance

cast off vigilance

trying hard again

to crochet a cardigan

No – not me

I prefer

knitting poems.

Alexandra Carr-Malcolm, poetry, refuge, sanctuary, UK poet, writing. muse, Yorkshire poet

I fill the world with words

so you can’t find me

in a tangle of text

hiding in lex-

-ical tom

foolery

silently

spoken, yet

shards in the heart

worlds far apart from

where I retreat to sanctuary

Are you a ghost?

Taunting my memories
possessed by
a thought
fleeting
shadow
lurking
in the corner
of my heart
haunted by
circumstances
