Haikus for the Well-Intentioned Crocheter

a work in progress
languishing, still for so long
unfinished object

if only I had
my very own alpaca
to feed my habit

the local yarn store
a soft, colorful vortex
I cannot escape

I’m finally done
crocheting your Christmas gift
so what if it’s June?

is there an award
for the person who collects
the most pattern books?

did I drop a stitch?
no, that can’t be possible
it just ran away

a cat plays with yarn
it isn’t a comedy
it’s a tragedy

I promise I’ll stop
I’ll finally come to bed
right after this row...
