Kim Merryman Poet Quatrain

A Poem Stitched In Love

Bring me a needle,
                Bring me some thread.
                I'll stitch you a poem
                That's never been read.

                Each letter and word,
                Are the thread that I'll use,
                The needle, my pen,
                Your devotion my muse.

                As needle and thread
                Sew together a seam,
                My pen and my words,
                Will stitch together a theme.

                The theme will be love,
                The words from my soul,
                Stitched with great care
                For you to behold.

               When the last word is penned,
                Like a final snipped thread,
                I'll present you this poem,
                Just like I said.
