The Story of my Blog Title

Quilt of Dragonflies- My blog is named that for a reason.I am lucky enough to own a genuine Quilt of Dragonflies, which I am sure brings me good dreams when I sleep beneath it. It was given to me by a friend of my mother's, who handmade the entire thing. Color meets pattern in this fantastic piece of artwork which sits on my bed. Brilliant shades of purple, blue, and green intersperse with tie dye dragonflies. I will not hesitate to call it my inspiration.

Winter

Winter
by Claire


The wind
Wraps itself around me
Sealing me off from the world
Howling in my ear
Begging me to follow it
To the ends of the earth
And beyond
My scarf
Crimson against the alabaster and grey
Winds around my neck
The end fluttering madly
In the tempest
My fingers
Buried deep within navy mittens
Curl and uncurl
A flurry of snow
Brushes against my cheek
Turning my nose pink
I smile at the snowflakes
Dancing around me
And raising my hands to the sky
I start to twirl
Still smiling
