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.

Great alliteration in this one, Alex. I especially like the lines ‘scheming skeins /
unpicking dreams / slip stitch sibilance …’ 🙂
It was one of those poems that when it is written you wonder where it came from! I even sold a book on the strength of that one poem 😀
Very clever. Blessings, Natalie 🙂
Thank you so much Natalie – I’m glad you appreciated it 🙂
