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.

Julie’s Poem

With knitted Kasas,

we’re on retreat,

we’re not in the Order,

but we’ve reserved a seat!

 

We’re not a Chapter,

not quite yet,

we’re just a paragraph –

On your marks get set!
