Knit Poetry

Madge McKeithen wrote
_The Blue Peninsula_.

Premise:
Poetry has saved her
life...

McKeithen chronicles
her journey through a
bizzare landscape
in which her teenaged son
deteriorates from
an unnamed illness.

Scraps of poetry
anchor her daily.

Natlie Goldberg wrote the essay:
"How Poetry Saved My Life."

The essay credits poetry
with saving grace...
enabling NG to endure
Minnesota winter and
the bleakness of divorce.

Posit:
Knitting is poetry
Knitting is life saving

K1, Pl, K1,
Phrase, pattern, rhytmn
all there

Recited: a rosary, a prayer, a mantra

Center:
Knit one row...
Circle...
Knit another...

Knit through darkness...
Knit through pain...
Circle the inexplicable

Make prayer rug...
A talisman...
to tide one
through difficult days

Pattern grace
Be peace

Knit poetry
Save your life
