Today I worked with a teen, teaching her to sew. We sewed the first of many pillowcases to donate to the women in a residential addictions program. I started to write about that, but when I started writing the word "pillow" it made me think of other words...
I like the sound of
pillows,
billows
and willows.
I think
there should
more illow words -
millows of them -
**********************************************************
In the lillows of the valley,
the fragrance is so sweet.
In the frillows of the brook
water splashed upon my feet.
In the nillows of the night,
fireflies glowed, and darkness lightened.
In the villows of the tree
many creatures lived unfrightened.
In the sillows of a web,
the dew drops sparkled with perfection.
In the chillows of the winter,
new snow shone the moon's reflection.
In the gillows of the rocks
little mice were nibbling corn.
In the rillows of the mind
is where mighty dreams are born.
***********************************************************
I do not know where this came from today....somewhere in the rillows of my mind. I have perhaps been up too late in the nillows of the night.

Very funny. I think our minds do crazy things sometimes, hence your 'illows' from the sewing I guess. Creative and 'millow'.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you've played with words here!
