Burlap and Satin

Needle by needle The tunes for the fiddle Press by press The pink caress The up and down The silky gown Sideways too The silky hue The muslin sheen The fluid violin The orange sun With love spun The slippery satin The tender teens The roof grows crack The burlap sack Coarse daytime The internal rhyme The needles of strife The burlap life The people ragtag The burlap bag The filigree of labour The burlap savour The blue attachment For the natural scent The crafting and decor Burlap we look for The hugs and kisses The blue berry bushes The burlap screen No harsh wind The happy times For the shrubs and the vines Though poles apart Both close to our hearts Burlap and satin The brown and the green From the knife and the blade Towards the burlap shed From the market din Towards the songs of satin Burlap and satin The stories umpteen ________________________________ March 26, 2018 Burlap and Satin - Poetry Contest Sponsored by : Anthony Slausen
