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.

Rowing

Blades flash
In and out of the glistening water
Catch
Finish
Recovery
Steps that are
Burned into my mind
Legs back arms
Arms back legs
My body has started to
Do these things
As the oar sinks and rises
In the murky water
Blue from a distance
Brown under the boat
Fingers cramp and
Back aches
The boat slides easily
Unaware of my problems
