Patterns, Patterns Everywhere!

Contest: Pattern(s)
Sponsor: Sara Kendrick
Date: 14th July 2026

Patterns are a marvelous thing!
We see them everywhere we look.
On mammals, on insects, on water,
Inside poetry and story books...

We see patterns in the clouds,
Patterns of behaviour,
A history that repeats itself,
A victim in need of a saviour...

We see patterns in the iris of eyes,
Patterns in life and routine,
Patterns in the clothes we wear
And patterns to how we clean...

Life is full of patterns ~
A wonder to behold.
Patterns fascinate us human beings
From the young to the old.

Indeed. And the individual sometimes lost in patterns. My wife has designed many a stage and gown in her life. I can relate.

I imagine she loves designing and creating with patterns Joe, I understand why she would be lost in it sometimes, you just get carried away and time flies by. :-D
