How to Crochet a Life
by Alison McKenzieThe hook is the tool
Chain up the years
A single stitch for the tighter
Moments of bond
A triple for the lengthening
Relax of a picnic to swimming
Counting, calculating width to stretch
A covering for your dreams
Warmth in these rows & rows
A life of moments yarned over
The hook into spaces
Patterns wrought of nurture
To pull the meaning back through
Fringe for the finish
Those tickles of laughter
Colors blend in seasons

| Posted by Cathlyn Cartier on 02/06/09 at 09:24 PM I love this! What an interesting approach with a wonderful result.. or maybe I'm biased because I crochet and I use it to unwind my tangled thoughts and focus on the object and the person to whom it will be given.... anyway, again I absolutely love this! |
