She Doth Protest Too Much

Not again
Not once more
I did it
It’s done
That’s it
The end

How glorious to reach the end!
To put the yarn away again
And with satisfaction gaze upon it
The endless work multiplies no more
Happy day! The blanket now is done
I’ll never need another like it

That’s all that there is too it
I’m happy to see the end
Even though my fun is done
What makes you think I’ll start again?
I’m certainly not making more!
I really couldn’t stand it!

I’m completely sick of it!
Once was enough to do it
Perhaps I’ll dream of more…
But I know this is the end
I couldn’t be enticed again
The decision’s made and done

I know I’m bored now it’s done
But I told you I couldn’t do it
Not again!
 
Of course I’m going to do it
Couldn’t help myself in the end
Alas, ’tis yarn, I’ll always be wanting more

Another? Why not twenty more?
Think how pretty they’ll be when done!
Or perhaps this one will be the end…
The future’s too far to plan it
And though I might deny it
I’ll likely try to carve it into stone again

And that’s the end of it
Not bad to get more done
So, hit repeat and do it all again


I tend to do this every time I finish crocheting something.

Waiting for Spring

The year has turned the page and waits for spring;
branches are silver-bare that wait for spring.

Winter has passed us by, yet it lingers still,
leaving shabby, snowy patches waiting for spring.

Though the frigid wind bites down to the bone,
hopeful warm thoughts patiently wait for spring.

Searching for the first of spring-green shoots
that mark the predestined end of waiting for spring.

Dreaming of the profusion of buds and robin chirps,
the warmth in the air after we’ve waited for spring.

Quadrille Sonnet

Sweet poem forming
From swirling words
Plucked from storming
Lithe nebulous herds

That go roaming
Through cultured minds
As visions singing
Of tantalizing finds

Sought with cunning
Coaxed with patience
Caught with writing
Rife with cadence

Slowly the poem blooms
Unfurling its vibrant plumes
