Needlework Footles

Backstitch scratch mine scratch thine Straight Stitch boring snoring French Knot pie-eyed tongue tied Satin Stitch glossy bossy Feather Stitch ruffled plumage Slip Stitch escape artist Fly Stitch Help me! Help me! Couching Stitch stick in the mud Blanket Stitch under cover

Ha! William. I taught my nephew to sew as soon as he showed interest in what I was doing. He was more interested in how the machine worked than in specific stitches. LOL

Hi Jim. The Footle form was created by our colleague, Brian Strand. I recommend searching for, and reading some. There are fine examples by many PS poets/esses. The definition is under Types of Poems on this site. They're fun and addictive! I can't wait to read some of yours! Get busy! ;)
