Sewing Footles

So and Sew I sew it’s so So Fine nimble thimble Lost Pattern quilted wilted Chain Stitch lost link pants sink Running Stitch pants torn forlorn Stitch in Time mended splendid Long Stitch I sew so slow Prickle needle bleedle

Charming, delightful and whimsical Linda! As a sewer I relate to all of your footles especially the last one as I look for a band aid! Blessings

these are very cool. I did not know if he expected a set or not. But if he wants a set, this should be a shoe-in!

I didn't know either. I just took a shot in the dark. I saw your Ant Footles won as well, and Janice's 'Fall Takes Charge' in 1st. Great minds, eh?

An excellent string of footles, Linda. It seemed to be simple, but I find it challenging. Best of luck in the contest.

Dear Linda, your clever pen has created such an enchanting string of footles. I especially adored Stitch in Time and Prickle; "needle bleedle" - just love the word play, though not the prickle itself! lol! Great imagery throughout! You make composing footles look so easy though they are definitely not. Warmest wishes, my friend.. ~Susan

Hello dear Susan. So nice to see you. Thank you for the kind comments. LOL needle bleed was fun to write. Many thanks, Linda

Hi Tom. Good to see you again :) Thanks for the positive comment. Yes, I have more but decided against putting them all in one poem - too long! LOL

Hi Anne-Lise. I've written several without really understanding the form. This is the first I've attempted since "getting it", I hope. :) Thank you!
