Grandmama Poem by Sally Plumb Plumb

Grandmama



My grandmama would knit serene
as through the window
came a stream of sunlight ribbons
for her hair.

And cat would curl
the wool around
where it lay tumbled
on the ground.
Dappled carpet
and dappled walls
and rainbows from the spinners halls.

As in comforts chair I lay
watching grandmama each day,
knitting colours from the balls
of rainbow from the magic halls
that spun the dreams
of autumn sun,
and cat, and dapples
all in one.

Full of light and colour this - You have made a picture of your grandmama I can see. Isn't poetry the ultimate in mind-transference, telepathy if you like?
