Woolen Yarns Poem by Liilia Talts Morrison

Woolen Yarns



Whirring stirring yarns of old
woolen cloth more dear than gold
homespun stories spinning wheels
earthen bowls of ancient mold

Wooden floorboards handmade kegs
milking stools on three strong legs
sauerkraut in weathered bowls
raven nests in oak tree holes

New potatoes burlap sacks
bright blue patches filled with flax
never will those times return
precious dust in stone hewn urns.
