Excerpts

Fall brought their first shearing.

Then as the days turned cold

their winter wool grew in.

It kept them warm right through the snow.

Copyright © 2004 by George Ella Lyon

Next the weaver warps her loom.

She ties her different-colored yarn to the back beam,

then pulls it, strand by strand, to the front.

There she ties it again, making the warp.

When it's time to weave deep blue,

she'll wind that color on the shuttle

the way a painter dips her paintbrush in the paint.

Then she'll guide the shuttle

over and under the warp

to make the weft.
