Listening to every heart

Nan

She spins sonnets
On the treadle
While her foot
Still rocks the cradle

She quilts by quill
Threading hearts
Her fairies alight
To take their part

We share a sun
Shining reveries
She is our Nan
Lady Poetry…

Auntie Kari warm smile this is a beautifully written poem. It’s flow and construction is excellent, put together with the warmth from your sunshine way. I like this one I like it a whole lot

Love and warm stuff

yes she does...and she teaches us with both her poetic gifts and her by example of gifting of her time here selflessly.
Lovely tribute Sun ... you are shining bright this morn

I tried and I tried to spin a sonnet today - but my munchkins came by and I had to tend the cradle.. ya know how that is???

I even tried to quill a quilt... and the fairies took it apart when I wasn't looking...

The best I could do was line up some limericks... and enjoy the Sunshine...

Thank you muchly, m'friend...

I'm new to the 'shop
with Nan at the top.

I was here to sightsee
as Sunshine's invitee,

when Nan let me post
my thoughts uppermost.

So welcoming was she
to me, the attendee.

I've no need to roam;
my poems have come home.

I'm here to stay
and improve my wordplay.

With Sunshine's inspiration,
And Nan's kind invitation,

I now have a plan
to write all I can,

And write and rewrite
'til it's right.

THANKS FOR TEACHING, NAN. YOU ARE FEEDING THE HUNGRY!!!
