Crochet Defined

Crochet
Noun
1. Buffet of choices: so many hooks; so much yarn.
2. Voices speaking from the thread. Memories caught everywhere you look.
    Seeking tales from the bedspread, the mittens, the tangled knots.
Verb
1. Twist and pull, pull and twist, again and again, and again.
    Wool enrolls in sweaters. Cottons enlists in motifs with poise.
    Each project better than the last, becoming chief of all.
Example: Play the day away, sit back, crochet.

Wonder

When you’re sitting on the grass
Just letting the time pass
Any moment magic can be born
So look up and see the unicorn

Oh the Fair!

Fair weather reigns for the glorious fair
where you wander through the enchanting wares.
Say you’ll return, oh but when? Do not say;
today is set aside as a wondrous day.

Forget your woes. But the fair don’t forget,
for here laughter thrives. Treasure it for
besetting days devoid of mirth; beset
your terrors with delights held in your

heart; in the dark you’ll not grow faint in heart.
So recall the fair and the sky just so
Part the crowds, enjoy the sights, every part,
oh, the games and rides and everything oh!

Delight in the joy for these delights
light the grim gloom with shimmering lights.



This is a Shadow Sonnet, where the first and last word of each line is the same. It makes for some interesting writing. I cheated a little, but I think the end result isn't bad.
