Premium Member Delightful

suddenly a rich embroidery
with sunlight pouring
and a hundred chirping birds winging
oh, here comes a parade of butterflies fluttering 
to kiss each swaying delightful wildflower

Edward

A red streak running till the kitties left alone
An Edward
Unfurled with the intent of being taken
A hole stitched with embroidery is an inevitable breakthrough
Patchwork belonging

of whiplash curves in undulating lines

Gentlemen with their wit,
Graceful dancing and song.

Garnished with exquisite

Icy Veins

Sandpaper linen-
embroidery in pallid hands.
Spirit-thin webs of trees:

pristine; honored.
Ashen bones under cotton
sky. Finger inflamed 

sugar-soft feathers.
Snow, tingling, starts to cling.
Immaculate hues.

Nature

Details make life beautiful
Nature knows this
The addition of a line
A contour
Or shade of colour
The bass relief of vines
Mosaic of leaves
Embroidery of flowers
The details make us slow down
Stop, really look, see

A crisp white shirt.
Designed to fit with fluency. 

A language sized for lust.
To ease my vast dependancy.

Every touch is moisten.
The fingers wet the appetite. 

The buttons widen with choice.
Her sent stains the embroidery.

Premium Member - Grandma's Handmade Pattern -


    I collect antique embroidery pattern
    a handiwork through generations
    On yellowed paper
    with a few tears and edge wear

    A project I pick up when time is quiet
    each stitch for relaxation
    Grandma’s pattern renewed
    - embroidered in monochrome blue

Premium Member Quacker Factory

I buy my clothes from “Quacker Factory”
But there are no ducks in my house
Their colorful embroidery is more than satisfactory
I've met web-footed workers at their warehouse
When I visit, they make me stay at their henhouse

Premium Member Each Leaf

Micron thick!
Weightless weight! 
As plain as plain itself!
Green as the greenery! 
As complicated,
As the chain-stitch embroidery;
Or grotesque architecture,
Or sophisticated fixtures...
Each leaf is 
Ever precious
Even though they are
Evidently destined to fall...

Premium Member Faerie Floss Please

The elderly nana had one last wish.
I would like a bit of faerie floss she said.
I thought she meant embroidery floss.
Someone else thought she meant gauzy material.
An old gentleman arrived carrying cotton candy on a stick.
We used to call this faerie floss, he told us.
She was more than happy with it.

The Mystery of Love

Love is a mystery 
Entwined in threads of sorcery 
Like a beautiful scenery 
Laced in baffling embroidery; 
Only a heart of mastery 
Can tame the course of its misery 
For the lure of its debauchery 
Can bind a soul to slavery.

Elizabeth, Fiery Filly

laced lips lurching
ember eerie embroidery
dripping damped nectar
clustering salient coda
sigh scrunching seduction
callous confetti's contraction

hoisted hips hankering
saucy shriek scoring
sumptuous attention seizing

lanky limbs trace
mystic melody's grace
like lusty race

gaze sparks spewing
Elizabeth, fiery filly.

Premium Member wearable art

Some artists utilize watercolors
Others dabble in clay
Some quilt
Others know ribbon embroidery

Some artists add glitter and sequins
Pearls, feathers, taffeta and other fluff
I like artists who think outside the norm
This artist wears her art

It is wearable art, she tells me
And it is for sure
she is the ultimate artist
I am proud to know her

The Christening

Red  velvet  with  gold corded embroidery
Old  farmhouse faint smoke  frost glittered
Spices  wine  honey  candles  milk  apples
Orders  farm produce meat game and  fish
Great fire in kitchen preparing for the evening
Writing poetry ...  baby  cries for breastfeeding
Singing together  begin to dance in fine dress
Young man   singing   melancholy  love-song

Front Row Seats

The squirrels scamper in the snow
So when they climb the tree,
A dust of whiteness flutters down
Like lace embroidery.

It settles back from whence it came
Until the game resumes
And once again, the threat of havoc
From each squirrel looms.

I'm watching from the windows
On a bright white sunny day
And enjoying, gratis, front row seats
To Nature's matinee.

Premium Member Little Women Heroine

Louisa May Alcott's Jo March of Little Women fame
Independence fiercely earned and eagerly accepted upon her own talents
compels Jo to strive toward her best life independent of a man’s whims 
A heroine of her own doing, she creatively prances forth living her authentic self.
A role model to young girls who can toss embroidery and cooking aside now, so
we thank her very much!

Pronto Pram's Metamorphose

felony figs feigning
pulpy punctured probity
mystic mist moaning
purpled eyes receding
damped desire drooping
salient severity scrunching

two temerarious Varmints -
callous ensconced embroidery
skins sans salmagundi

lusty leery lurching -
atuned atmosphere aiding
cranky coup clustering

chaetophorous Chipmunk saw,
pronto pram's metamorphose.
