Let's face it, paper and pen or computer and keyboard are not for everyone. Besides, poetry has many colors and textures. The Poetry Society, a British institution since 1909, feels the same way and has concocted a method of knitting poems.

Here's one square of mine:

Spring blows in fits
and starts. Then
stops.
We wait for warmth.
We wait for green.
Til then,
robin's reveille gives
Hope.
