Francine Roberts Poet Rhyme

For Love's Sake

Bits of wool, bits of lace,
Driftwood piled all over the place.
Seashells and flowers too,
Nails, clasps and a variety of glue.

Crafts of every shape and size
Created right before your eyes.
This is how I spend my day.
Built with love to give away.

I have a crafty side to me.
Step inside, you will see
Totes and shelves piled high
With assortments for me to try.

Whether 'hobbit houses' or
Flower bouquets by the score,
I feel at peace when I make
Beautiful crafts, for love's sake.

Carolyn Devonshire March 9, 2011 at 12:25 PM Those houses are adorable, Francine. It's nice to know hobbits have such cute homes. Do you sell them at craft fairs or make them to order? Perhaps you just make them for yourself. As you know, I'm a Moon Child, too, and sew gifts as well as home adornments like curtains, table cloths, placemats, etc. Also want to thank you for being so kind. Love, Carolyn

Carolyn Devonshire March 9, 2011 at 11:57 AM This sounds like quite an artistic endeavor, Francine. I'm imagining your house filled with driftwood, flowers, seashells. It takes a lot of talent to pursue crafts such as these and I can't even imagine what a "hobbit house" would look like. Very tiny, I guess. I'm so glad you chose to share this with us. I'll bet your products are amazing. Delightful poem! Love, Carolyn
