    Oh I do like this form - very creative and think we need another contest with this form here. Nice golden winner for this write.

      Thanks for these comments, Gran. It was a fun form to work with and great form for haiku-writers that don't like to deviate from the 5-7-5 form too.

      By the way, remember when we talked about how the expression "dog days of summer" came about? I checked it out, and it seems that in August the star Sirius, also known as the Dog Star, comes to appear. Kinda cool-to-know info, huh?

    I do like the weave of this. Warm wooly wraps in Winter warding off a chill sounds so comforting.

      Now that it's Spring, it's to be craving some winter, huh? I used to knit a lot up until a few years ago--(I think about the time AP and other stuff came into my life). Sometimes it's just to miss my old yarn stash.

      Thanks for your comments, Suseann, always...

      Thank you again, Reenie and it was none of your fault the entry slpped out of the contest. I'm just grateful you realized it was missing to let me know.

      From hereon, any contests I host I'm keeping an aside list of entries just like you just in case!

    Oh, this is so good. I like the way it really shrinks in L3! Are you sure there isn't a kitty at the end of that string, helping the yarn to shrink?


    Good luck in the contest!

      Oh many mornings it was waking up to find my yarn balls unravelled and twisted around legs of the kitchen chairs, through the living room and up and down the stairs by those kitties too, Susie. But then they did it with the toilet paper too!

      Thanks for your comments!
