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...

Do you do any kind of needlepoint? This made me think of that, but you are a wordsmith of the finest caliber!

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!! ;)

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.
