Lockdown

The wife was happily sewing
When suddenly I went "boing!"
Now no one can wheedle
The eye of a needle
But who would have thought of blowing?

Hemming my new bell bottoms.
Summer radio blaring to best seventies hits.

Aliens

The alien saucer fell hard.
It landed right there in my yard.
    I'd give them jobs mowing
    or cooking and sewing
but none of them has a Green Card.

Cloth Stitching

life is like cloth
your life exceeds until
you miss a stitch and something goes wrong
so you live your life
now and forever
sewing ife one stitch at a time.

Bloodsport

I tried my hand at a magic trick,
it was supposed to make others sick,
so while the blood was flowing
I knew I would need sewing...
Can someone stitch an artery, quick?

Premium Member Sew Smart

I thought sewing would not be a hit
But who would ever have known that it
Could make you smarter 
So for a starter
I decided that I would knit wit

Premium Member The Old Seamstress

The old sewing machine
Stiches noisily
The separated will be joined
The torn will be patched
But
Not the hearts that are apart
But 
Not the luck and glory that are lapsed

Being Nervious Did Resemble

Being Nervious Did Resemble 

Being nervous is what it did resemble,
Causing me to be upset and tremble;
Worry awhile;
Start to smile;
Then ended up losing sewing thimble.

As President America Should Promote

As President America Should Promote

As President America Should Promote;
Time to develop it do always devote;
Seeds sewing;
Easy going;
Shows sense of humor in an anecdote.

Stitches Short

Alive within my soul, toxic as can be
His words remove the stitches, that kept my heart a beat
True love was once the claim, if ever that were true
Sewing broken pieces was all he had to do

Premium Member Dracula who made Curtains

Dracula who made curtains was never done
He worked from sun to sun to sun to sun
He was at his machine night to night to night
His sewing was exquisite, but his brain was not on very tight.

Sewing the Seeds of Discontent

Perhaps a magic beanstalk would appear! 
I grinned and potted up the seeds;
I'd raid the giant's castle, drink his beer...
but by the dawn, I'd grown more weeds.

Premium Member Sister

Girl, stained with earth,
hands clutching sun-drenched globes,
learning, laughter,
leaping.

Sister,
seeing stars,
science,
soaring.

Sister,
sewing, singing,
stories strong,
success.

A Sewing Lesson

I found myself standing before you with all my tattered threads
I gave it all to you for your skillful hands to mend
Now you've stitched yourself into me
You put your name on the inside of my collar

This one will be an un-bawdy limerick Once was sewing and my finger got pricked That innocent word pricked Is quite un-bawdy, I tricked It's clean as a whistle and twice as damn slick

Dawn

Deep within my loins
I had to shoot out more than one extra poem
So I did it
Dirty little me
A woman sewing her seed
I did that second poem indeed
Screw the establishment
I am the dawn of new poetry

What's Going On

In the 18th century
Sewing machines are 
stitching
A full-page

In the 21st century
A keyboard is 
typing
A blank

In the 22nd century
Robots are
Snatching
The keyboard
While
We are sleeping

Premium Member So There

A girl sat sewing beside a clock
Busy darning a holey sock
The needle pierced her fingers and thumb
And sewed them together one by one
The poor girl suffered so much pain
She never sewed anything again

Premium Member Hooded Towels

Yes! Heartfelt craftsmanship keeps me happy. Besides oil painting composing good poems- sewing kids' hooded towels embellished with jazzy ribbon offers me a reward as they smile!

Premium Member Shine

Sometimes you have to break
So that the light seeps in
Slowly through open cracks
Sealing scars and your fears
Shining bright inside out
Sewing cloaks of wisdom
Spools of thread now untwined.

always baking and cooking
always sewing and keeping house
always watering her violets
always tilling garden in spring
never giving up on herself
or others or her beliefs
she was always the
greatest grandma
i could of ever had!
