With every stitch
and each silver thread
I have woven
a blanket of layers
in verses that define my weaving.

The fabric of my cloth overlays
sheer and transparent
swaying in the fray
swiss on polka dot
and satin trimmed
loose knots
in the mending
softly underneath.

I have taken care to cross my stitches
holding close each slip
without counting notches
or following a pattern
while trying to find my form
and deeper meaning.

A touch of velvet worn thin
in light of my framework
and uneven seams
an odd assortment of remnants
that came to be
the warm intent of familiar.

A place to curl up
wrapped around the folds
each tie that binds
my heart to my tapestry
that lies beneath the blue.

BluesSerenade - what lies beneath the blue is a pen filled with softness of a heart that writes like this. Well done...

Blues, you're doin' it right, lady! I have found that if one follows patterns, one may never find deeper meaning. It's best to do it your own way!

Lori,

This is beautiful. Again, as usual, your imagery terrific. Love it.

I like:

"while trying to find my form and deeper meaning," for it touches my heart and I so understand.

Hugs, Pat

This is the perfect tapestry of your own special design, no pattern was necessary...The fabric of your heart's words have blended seamlessly, and I much enjoy their warmth!!

Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart ~~S~~

Lori, with the wonderful talent you have,
you don't need a pattern of any kind to
be able to weave your poetry together. You
do it beautifully without any form or pattern.

Now, on the other hand, some one like me
needs the pattern to do the work. LOL
Seriously, I really love to do those
rictameters. They are fun to me.

Heart Hugs,
Ethel
