that's right.
sock puppets.
for chris to take to
india.
you must understand, reader.
we are not crafty.
chris came home with
the socks (embryos?)
and jack cried out
in a voice completely
devoid of confidence
will mom have to sew anything?we did it.
the sewing
gluing
cutting
tying
until we had these puppets.
i can't imagine
what the
googly eyes
will see.
poverty
hunger
mercy?
overwhelming, really
to think about
the child that will hold
a black sock puppet
with a blue and white
pony tail
i'm praying for her,
the tiny indian girl who
will hold
a black sock puppet
with a blue and whitepony tail

Those are adorable sock puppets! The children will definitely enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute, and they'll be real treasures to the little ones who receive them.
ReplyDeleteI think they are perfect. I love sock puppets.
ReplyDeleteSimple perfection.
What a great effort! When does the India trip take place?
ReplyDeleteHi Kendall. Love the sock puppets. How fun is that? And how amazing is it that serving little kids in another part of the globe will make you be crafty--even if it is totally not in your gift set! (definitely not in mine, either!)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, just wanted to pop in and say I love reading your poetry. Your words. You have a gift for placing words on a page, my friend.
Keep writing and writing and writing, okay? :) Take Care, Laura
