Yarn is the Daily Prompt at WordPress. Not a photo challenge but Michelle W says “Write a new post in response to today’s one-word prompt.” YARN
Spin it, weave it, hook it,
graft it, embroider, wind it in a ball.
Hoard it, stash it, collect skeins to knit.
Knit and purl mittens, ribbed pumpkins, scarves
no one in your family or list of friends
ever asked to receive.
“Mom, I think we all have enough hats. ”
Create shawls of comfort, like hugs
striped socks and hooded baby sweaters
with duck buttons or monkeys.
Think of the recipient while you repeat
the motions of each stitch.
In, around, down through and off
In, around, down through and off
In, around, down through and off-
off the needles.
Tens of thousands stitches with strands of yarn
turn into garments, stave off the chill.
