A sweater and a cap

From my poetry Collection 'Signatures')

 A letter for you darling!

Darling dear,

then in the past  a last resort

was a letter for a lover!

Now a belch is heard

from the PC key boards

and mobile phones.

They sound their delight

of digesting the written letters

Yet none could stop

me writing this letter to you.

This is a morning;

I wantonly postponed

all my domestic humdrum

just to write this

 letter with woolen thread

and knitting needle.

Spring has bid farewell.

Winter wind would arrive sooner;

and I would continue

another letter to you

knitting a sweater

then these two letters

would enwrap you

with all my warmth.

Dear darling

don’t kick that much

within my abdomen;

Sometimes it pains,

Please wait

Let me finish this letter.

Might they sell

Many beautiful

woolen sweaters and caps!

They sell everything.

but they can’t sell

the pride of the mother

Knitting a sweater and a cap

for her kicking baby within

enjoying the pleasure in kicks.
