folded lace in patterns straight
speaking volumes in tatted space
words arise and form in place
letters chat in livened fate

made in far-off romantic lands
styled in flakes of whitened span
used to drape the winnowed fan
tightly woven like summered sands

etching coded meanings to unfurl
seizing sight as soft-touched fur
writing calligraphy of ashen burl
inking notes my heart to stir

tatted words to tell the tale
of fairied dreams their thoughts regale

Great poem -- I loved the tatting -- it was beautiful.  And, it is a dying art.

TD and Iliana, thank you for reading and taking time to comment...my son and I were folding lace today (we bought it in Eastern Europe at a wonderful price) and he looked at it as we closed a fold, saying that it looked like words were on the lace...he meant the border, but I took it at first to mean the actual tatting...and from there my mind exploded...tatted words
