Tapestry

Long Strong Sliver
‘cross a pattern’s intent.
Pirate’s contempt
for a linen map.
Turquoise....sea?
Opal....sky?
Ruby....sunset?
Riches to plunder
from an old tin box.



"HEY, DON'T THROW THAT AWAY, I MIGHT NEED IT SOMEDAY!!!" Packratmike

Hmmmmm, did Koko get it right? OR...are these your thoughts upon spying some 'treasure' at a flea market or estate sale?

Interesting poem.

Sounds like a dip in the sewing box to me...all the rich hues of silken embroidery strands...working its magic on a blank
field of white cloth...painting pictures with thread...

Perhaps these jewels were found in Pandora's box? Either way, I loved this! Smiles to you, Kate

Thanks everyone for the comments and guesses. This poem must seem a bit cryptic, but if you look at it the way Paula did it may make more sense.

Paula, your interpretation was right on target!!!
