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. :)

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!

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