I can't deny that my fingers were kept warm.


You Knitted Mittens For Me To Keep My Fingers Warm Whilst Playing The Guitar – And Then Expected Gratitude

When we were
First togethered
And the first frowns
Had been weathered,
I felt fight beyond any previous.
Confidence filled
And
Thrilled
Through me.
Since then, your don'ts
Have, brick-by-brick,
Built up my won'ts.

Love the title, love the ending--GREAT piece here!

(As a bit of a guitatist myself, I have noticed the "slight" reduction in accuracy produced by mittens or gloves, especially in the left hand's fingering; however, I do recall strumming chords--after a fashion--while wearing gloves in a frigid barn one night, in my adolescence a few decades back... ;-,)
