For where will we all be if not for the first weavers of tales from spoken and written silk? I love this, Andrea. I certainly can say I also want this one framed and put on the wall above my desk. :)

So glad this was recognized as outstanding Andrea. I thought so too and thought it would be a winning poem. Congratulations on your wonderful win!

Genius poem about how verse is versed with needle stitching on to parchment. Excellently done. Good luck in the contest. Loved always, my lovely friend,bl

Hello Andrea, I love the image here of stitching verses. When I read it I imagine a lady in the middle ages stitching a tapestry by light from a window. Its beauty will shine for ages, just like your poetry.

I can be such a sucker for threads, strings as metaphors, and I think it's one of the common themes in my poems....you sure weaved a beautiful poem out of the theme, Andrea-- maybe just me, but how you did this, somehow I envision it as intricate and very beautiful. Definitely a lovely poem for nette's contest!

Wonderful write Andrea,,,truly said on poetry,,, great thoughts cud be only u,,, congrats on great win !!

Nice take on the theme of thread. Congrats on a fine win, andrea

Would that it were that easy. I keep sticking myself with that "needle". Keep stitching those beautiful phrases together.

You took the theme to the highest level !! Nicely done, Andrea......congrats to you !

I really love this poem. The imagery is perfect. I particularly like "stitching golden verses". Thank you for taking the trouble to have a look at my poems. Best wishes Linda
