Basket of Colorful Thread

Many colorful threads
leading down different paths of life.
Angora,
the color of powder blue,
making booties for tiny feet.
Silky thread of white embroidered about a hem of a
christening dress,
leading to a wedding gown of white.
Crocheted hearts,
filled with sachet of midnight,
encircled with satin ribbons of mauve.
The sachets holding memories
of a mother sitting, rocking, crocheting,
telling fascinating stories of her past youth.
Multicolored threads
making an intricate piece of lace,
that will flow around satin and exotic perfume.
Autumn colors
made into a design of leaves
and colorful butterflies.
These threads of Autumn,
decorating jars of honey
and fresh homemade jams of strawberry,
raspberry and delicious pumpkin cream delight.
Dear reader.
I will share my colorful basket of thread.
Pick your favorite color, your favorite texture.
Maybe..... silk thread for romance,
cotton for practicality,
nylon for endurance.
Choose..........
see where the different colors of thread may
lead.
Please!
Enjoy my basket of dreams
and
my basket of colorful thread.

Love Bon-Bon

Hiya Lady...Great to see you and read your colorful words....how generous this is, along with all your poems...like a fruitbasket of great big smiles....warm socks, a fireplace with bright orange colors skipping around lighting the room.  

A very wondrous Basket you weave
Best wishes for a great day...is it windy out there, we're supposed to get 50 MPH winds today, and I think you are to...if so, batton down the hatches girl, or you'll blow away!  Be safe, and thanks so much for sharing.
