Christmas Tree
by Claire
lying
under the branches
your face
tickled by a
low hanging
bow
your nose twitches
as the scent reaches it
evergreen
lights
twinkle above you
sparkling in the dense needles
near the trunk
blinking and winking
blue
red
yellow
purple
ornaments
or should I say
memories
decorate your tree
each with
a story
all to its own
packages-
mysteries
lying next to you
waiting
just like you
Welcome to the Quilt of Dragonflies. Like a quilt, I have a bit of everything...Patterns you may not think would come together until you see them as a patchwork. I attempt to convey my view of the world through daily poems, and sometimes quotes or pictures. Shel Silverstein once wrote, "If you are a dreamer, come in." ~Claire
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.
