Arthritic fingertips entangled uniquely original; he speedily twiddles
He waves his hands, magically unfurling the string into a meaningless symbol
Heap of material - He reaches into the basket beside his chair -Rocking - creakingly simple
Supremely skillful - spinning the spool, each thread intervening with ingenious bristles
Synthetic fiber clings to the unraveling roll as he weans the swivel
Feeding line into the needles prickle like a dreamers pixel
His niece and nephews sit rosy cheeked with deep dimples in front of the fire, that breathes rekindled
The kitten keenly dingle-dangles with the ball of twine - it seems, meters - nibbled
Like a machine, he uncrinkles the neatly riddled while he discretely whistled a jingle
The theme from his show, leave it to beaver intro
Peaceful, gentle embroidery lessons - watching the teacher chisel
Fingers serenely nimble - stitching, sewing, stitching, sewing until the sleeve trickled
Technique whittles as his bones beneath brittle
A quilt with pleated ripples with little sheep and geese flying eastward squiggled
The old geezer shriveled like the sweaters drying on the highest degree
Frizzled thread fuzzy fabric greetingly tickles
Arthritis unforeseeably cripples. An oil lamp flickers like a grievers vigil
Nuns line the church in their veils, in their pristine wimples - as the weepers sniffle
Outside of the window pitter patterning beading drizzle
Dibble dabbling with a piece of tinsel - diddle daddling with each thimble
He pricks himself and bleeds blissful. The blood leaks and dribbles like an artist's ink stipple
R.I.P in the middle of a sheet crimpled as the price of his artwork proceeds to triple
The web of your life, mingled yarn on a weavers spindle -
