with a rotating gimble
caused us to tremble...

Art showed her a foul lick symbol
(a pseudo Tiffany thimble)
She whispered to me
She wanted to see
Something a little more nimble
 
             LOST ART...

Diane,
What you know about physics and calculus wouldn't fill a thimble.
What you know about love and goodness overflows my heart,
    Every day.
I love you,

Healing hands be
light and nimble
As needle is to thread
finger is to thimble
Fibers of white
unwind from spindle
As spark is to flame
Loving grace He doth kindle....

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.

The hummingbird flies and flutters fast
You could not catch him if you tried
So tiny and so little
As small as a thimble
Feeding on nectar
With long thinned tongue
Zoom one goes
Flying
By...

Will Rogers Want To Resemble

What I want is Will Rogers to resemble;
So him how should I start to assemble;
An idea had,
And was glad;
Maybe will start with needle and thimble.

I see our time,
and, around it
a door.

Latchless hinging
on the thimble 
thumbs of 
two children.

I run into you
a needle,
arive behind
you a thread,
undone in my 
knitting,
stained red....

I strut beneath incandescent 
clouds of red- puffed weaves
sown with heaven's thimble, 
where I am deigned to 
stand still by the experience 
of such natural beauty, 
well endowed on this lone street-way....

Tiny protection for 

Those seamstresses ' small fingers.

Thimbles come in sizes.
 
Test the samples, ladies

Thoughtfully get right fit.

Thrust on embroiderers. 

Threads will become great art!...

The nimble thimble
Once touch this heart
Pushing shapely
Piercing my heart
Threading with loops
Around and around
Tying us together
Forever
Dressed as one
Completely covering
Our Love
Sewing our buttons on
Fastening this love
A pattern of
Gods Love...

The height of Mount Everest but a meter
The depth of Mariana Trench just a foot
The distance between the North and South Poles only an inch
The waters of the oceans merely a thimble 
Neither could measure
Nor could quench
This love I have inside
A fire I must hide...

So and Sew

I sew
it’s so

So Fine

nimble
thimble

Lost Pattern

wilted

Chain Stitch

lost link
pants sink

Running Stitch

pants torn
forlorn

Stitch in Time

mended
splendid

Long Stitch

I sew
so slow

Prickle

Wings monger air.
A host of defrocked preachers
buckle and swag.
Mobs clique and crowd in clusters.
Grackles, 
skip, jump, and plunder on.

The birds pilfer, promenade,
scrum, pluck,
lift off swearing 
in an avian Yiddish.

Heaven is rocked
by their thimble-sized storms....

"i...see..."
(said the blind man)
"sew"
(he took out his thimble...needles and saw)
"a coat"
(threads of truth...a covering of friends)
"rents"
(...other washed rags to keep warm by)
"wear"
(...as shelter...like..this...usual old crap)
"to beg"
(for change outside the subway where...the shop once was)...

While lying under a weeping willow, 
Had started crying upon my pillow; 
While I had rested,
Saw robin red breasted
In nest where her babies would grow.

My fingers were rather nimble, 
While I was using my thimble, 
Had been sewing, 
And my age growing; 
Causing my fingers to tremble.

Wishes favored over air
Hopes o’er constancy plain
Oases stripped of falsehoods fair
Still egged on by pain

Flowering hope, a swinish symbol
The sweet are only taste
Protective only as a ghostly thimble
Plummeting disgrace

Tip toe tip toe little dreams
You’re wrong, you’re air, you’re scarce
Glazed eyes reek of busted seams
In a knitted sleeve that tears...

<                    hes my banker and my heads horseman
                      calling bounty on anothers land
                      hark the herald angels
                      I think this game is swell
                      now thimble owes me sixty five grand

I hoist my sails
in a sea-green bottle.
Daydream a life,
and yet
the brown hen
still swirls around the barn,
her everlasting flap
a prelude to nothing at all.
The daylight dreams on.
Sail with me,
there is just enough space
in my shipwrecked heart
for you, and a speckled chicken.
We may have to eat it,
or learn to swim along,
side by side
in a thimble of love.
It might do,
it just might.

I'd love to drive
A DB5

Be slim and nimble
Have a 'Q' issued thimble

Own a PPK
Called Walter some day

Raise an eyebrow at death
No intake of breath

Be attractive to women
Wear tight speedos to swim in

Have the Maldives as back-up
Let the Amex card rack-up

Pout on photos when taken
Rather martinis were shaken

It's a fantasy game
As I just stay the same

Not a credible hero
Only seven more than zero...

In a sea of quilted pillows way down below
Were stitches of love and fun that Jan's grandma did sew
In the hem there was a teensy little elf named Nimble
He had watched grandma’s magic, when she used a thimble.

Nimble kept quiet until the child was asleep.
Not coming out until their snores were loud and deep.
Remnants of a sage woman’s goodness were stitched in love
Nimble knew that our dear grandma was watching from heaven above...
