Turning the Corner
In quilting, sewing corners is
A challenge I can’t meet.
My sad attempts at mitered corners
End up in defeat.
I’m sure in every corner
Of the sewing world, there must
Be others who’ve had problems, too,
No matter how they’ve fussed.
Don’t back me in a corner,
Surely not one I have cut,
For the corner of my eye reveals
That when I’m in a rut
The tightest corner cannot hold
Some tricks that can be learned.
Forget my sewing – to the
Poets’ corner I’ve returned.
