THE SOFTEST THINGS

by Noel Martin
May 3, 1989

Snowflakes and cobwebs and fluffy white kittens,

The wool from a sheep that is made into mittens,

Fine feather for down, a moth’s furry wings,

These are a few of the softest of things.


Rose petals, cottontails, a breeze on the beach,

Flannelette and marshmallows, the fuzz on a peach,

Tender young lips that reach up to kiss you,

Teddy bear hugs, Royale Bathroom Tissue.
