Rhona Mcferran Poet Rhyme

Odd Notions

I've these odd notions in my mind
oddball fancies like thread unwind
spooling strings of creative thought
stitch together the wacky lot

Loose ideas, patchwork pieces
smooth as silks (or fuzzy fleeces)
incoherent alone, single
yet together, mix and mingle
into quirky mosaic scene
so fresh and bright, and strangely keen

A crazy quilt of high ideals
imagination spins and reels
transporting me to places far
away from how things really are
and off to what might someday be
a better world, a better me...

Michelle Faulkner March 2, 2019 at 6:57 PM Do you do any kind of needlepoint? This made me think of that, but you are a wordsmith of the finest caliber! Rhona Mcferran March 2, 2019 at 11:05 PM I used to years and years ago... but now I mainly write or do graphic art. Aaawww, thank you so much! That means a lot coming from a poetess of your caliber!! ;)

Caren Krutsinger February 28, 2019 at 5:25 AM I cannot imagine a better you, as I think you are "practically perfect in every way" my friend. This is darling; reminds me of my mother's sewing prowess in the form of a poetic masterpiece. Rhona Mcferran February 28, 2019 at 10:05 PM Aaaww, you are too kind, my friend!! So glad you liked this! ;)
