Notes About The Poem

Tattered But Warm

  Quilt handmade
Quilt tattered
Tattered edges
Tattered cloth
Cloth that's leftover
Cloth a reminder
Reminder of dresses
Reminder of handmade
Handmade dresses
Handmade with love
Love filled endeavor
Love the covering
Covering well used
Covering to possess
Possess little
Possess much
Much love
Much less things
Things to use
Things to wear out
Out of the heart 
Out of skilled hands
Hands that age
Hands that hurt
Hurt from arthritis
Hurt and unable to sew
Sew those dresses
Sew the stitch
Stitch those pieces  
Stitch designs
Designs of colors
Designs for quilts
Quilts patches together
Quilts patched with leftovers
Leftover scraps
Leftover cloth
Cloth that made dresses
Cloth of many colors
Colors and patterns
Colors of the rainbow
Rainbow design
Rainbow stitches
Stitches held together
Stitches from hands warm
Warm handmade quilt
Warm quilt tattered
Tattered
Quilt
