never would have thought to write a poem on yarn. you really take something that is mundane and give it sacred weight. I particularly like the line " the mundane and the meaningful undulating unbound." think about deleting the last two lines. in a way, they subvert the poem. you have stated that yarn is sacred - that is enough. don't need to second guess it.

I like your lyrical write on yarn.

How imaginative.

I especially liked:The mundane and the meaningful undulating unbound
From a simple ball of yarn
A simple layer
Resounding abundance.

Lovely.
Hugs, d

Well, this is the first poem I ever read about a ball of yarn. Like how centered it. My favorite:
"I like the way it clasps the totality of who I am
It pause me into the muffled moment
And cast dreams of pink springs
In wan winter nights."
And also your evidence to what you write is the truth:
"Babies know it
Cats know it
I know it too..."
Well done! Good luck with the contest! Les

Indeed they can be just a ball of yarn. But we can have fun with them and different people and things see it in different ways. Great work on this piece.

I agree, I have many croqueted afghans and they are beautiful, I don't let anyone wrap themselves in the one as it is white with deep maroon roses and I don't what it getting ruined. This is well done, I wish you good success with the contest.

Beautifully written and so true. Adults can have their security blanket, also. There is too a bit of humor. I'll be looking for you. Great work.

Very good tribute to yarn and blankets.You have shown here the safe and comfortable feeling on gets when all snuggled in. Your alliteration is well done and the descriptive feelings are expressed well.

You can tell you certainly love to knit even crochet.
The peace and relaxation it provides you is pretty hard to match.
Nice use of enveloping alliteration into your metaphors is undeniable.
Great interpretation.

This brought a smile to my face. Thanks. The line, I like the way it clasps the totality of who I am, has deep meaning. Like you are one with yarn. I don't share your fascination but I enjoyed your explanation of it. Great job.
