A treasured washstand 
from the groom's  workshop 
for his bride - 
its value enhanced by
adding handmade towels       
from her hope chest....

A bible stand stood verily high -
these words won’t die.
Central pages of art.
Grandma’s Jesus would give me a heart.

Bouquet
of white roses,
jewel tone violets,
and baby's breath, a handmade card,
box of candy, then present them to her
with a kiss while on soft pillows;
our love makes a perfect
Valentine's Day
bouquet.

Celebrate Christmas Day
In stable - manger Christ lay
Brightest star shone way

Nativity gels 
tinsel glitter baubles bells
Notes of pine tree smells

Bend fold crease cut glue
made with love from me to you
clock ticks... finished... phew!...

Paper boats float on the breeze
more fragile than rose petals,
and lovelier in dawn’s light.
Adorned with soft-colored sails,
each one glides with handmade pride
and the sweet breath of childhood
unaware of their demise.

Stitch 
by stitch 
they share their
love and spirit
by knitting dolls and 
other toys for children
the array of colors used
fickle but constantly pretty
the elderly’s contribution to 
charity.. Pretty things for little things

Happy May Day, the 1st of May
I remember in childhood, when we would play
We would make handmade baskets and fill them with flowers
Then leave them on doorsteps, ring the bell and run!
Knowing our neighbors would be surprised
With an unexpected gift on their steps, Happy May Day! HAVE FUN!

  veiled by a shroud of mourning, 
                    lost outside a mask of woe-
    I seek abhorring moments, 
            disguised by joy, a rough smile-
            concealed by a handmade cloak, 
       obscurity is a sheath...
                      until I feel love’s blanket.

It starts with an image--
Collages of thoughts filling the pages--
Of dreams to alchemize from emotions materialized.

To all that is--
To be the experience in the present we testify. 
To live through the twisted uncertainty--
We breathe in serendipity. 

The vistas we explore, we sing the colors of hope. 
It ends with a promise--
Mirages of reality from a handmade kaleidoscope....

Strong, like kingdom walls,
stacks of sandbags, swamps of quicksand,
or barricades of filigreed barbed wire.
It holds me inside.

I can see myself in eleven years.
Perched on sterile metal instead of 
mountains of handmade quilts,
or nests of woven moss.

It will have turned love-making and child-bearing
from an art to a science,
and I will paint pictures 
of how being a woman is supposed to feel....

Our gorgeous May 17th
                          Decorate the birch trees with Norwegian flags
                                         Norway's national day


                                      The nation's day of celebration
                              All dress with handmade national costumes
                                     Hooray for our country in freedom

Treasures of honey in the flowery fertile lands; sweetest smell of splendid fruits; full of basket by the several handmade cakes in different seasons; the agricultural lands were fulfill with the magical touch of natural skilled farmers; granary, cow-house, pond -everything was under godly blessings- it was our Bangladesh

Golden touch was there
Natural pleased loving land
My east Bangladesh

When the meaning of Christmas

Is disseminated to such a point

It becomes more about who has received the most or expensive gifts

Maybe it's no longer fit for purpose
or relevant

Not to long ago for Christmas 
children used to get a stocking
stuffed with nuts an apple and an orange and a handmade toy

Now what has come to be expected
is a Game's Console the latest
Mobile Phone , Computer and designers clothes

And are they happy , grateful , thankful...

delicately folded lines...

a song within her mind...

in a room of 
muted paper and
bamboo lattice silence
she softly
closes the shoji door
to find a place of freedom
With legs crossed upon
the tightly woven tatami
she sits in an imaginary world
beyond the twilight canopy 
she floats through stardust light

she folds an empty paper...

a dream of endless flight...
