Blue Sewing Notions < !signature-->~*Marge Tindal*~ Threads in a basket not yet used wrapped on spools and bobbins waiting the needles' eye to weave the magic of a tapestry of friendship Snippets of eyelet lace that should have decorated a quilt of our yesterdays A button or two I could have used to close the gap between us before the cushion of pain grew too ~ ~ u n r a v e l l e d ~ A package of mending tape that perhaps could have hemmed the bridge of our unraveling Taped measures of just how far we'd drifted apart Pins of pain attach themselves to a small cushion of safety A thimble of tears I shed at the scissoring of our memories As I lay out the pattern I realize I'd make a lousy seamstress ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com [This message has been edited by Marge Tindal (edited 10-11-2000).] |

Marge-What can't be sewn or mended can always be glued together and called a work of art. I liked this one very much. |

My sweet friend, NO ONE is a better seamstress than you. You can not be faulted for a single spool of inferior thread. We all have those show up to us eventually. No reason, just a reminder now and then that we are human. Excellent read my dear friend. So have you missed me as much as I have missed being around as much. Ya better say yes LOL |

Hi my wonderful Lady, No stitching for me,fumble fingers all of the way, but you have stitched a heart felt beauty here my friend, I personally think your heart strings that have gone out from you to all of the souls here at passions make a quilt of many colors, heavly intertwind through out with loving kindness not measureble, I for one am in debt to you for so much that you personally have done for me and I love you much and prey for you often, be well friend of mine. Love, Cerenity "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist. We have to be reminded that He exist!" (Writer Unknown) |

BloomingRose~ Aw, shucks ... I don't know ... I just have these maniacal muses that play with my thoughts. I opened the sewing basket and saw a plethora of items that the muses gathered and flung at me until it wrote itself. Thank you for the wonderful compliment. Makes me love what I do even more ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Marge* You are unbelievable, what great grasp of inner feelings. It only takes a very thin thread to keep people together. Love it so much. |

How creative! I would have loved this even without the visuals, but what a wonderful difference they make! Sorrow and remorse figured beautifully into this metaphor. |

JD~ I appreciate your comments. I do try to be aware of the feelings of many and mingle them with my own in my writing. Thank you for letting me know you enjoy. ElizabethCor~ Thank you for the kind thoughts. It is indeed a sorrow when friendship lays in tatters ... when perhaps a little seaming would have worked to fix it. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

I'm constantly amazed by the comparisons and imagery you draw with Marge! Wonderful presentation ... perfect placement for "unravelled" ... all combine to form an excellent piece! Best wishes, /Kit |
