A waterfall of slobber
Descends upon my face
Sprinkling my cheeks, my nose, and
Ugh, my mouth
A gargantuan wet pink mass
Caresses my jeans
Leaving dark patches at the knees
Stickiness reigns supreme
Saliva flies towards me
I attempt to dodge
And end up with a wet spot on my sweatshirt
Spattered with fine white hair
Cannon balls of stickiness
Fly towards me
I am battered by the enemy's bulk
I bear the scars of battle on my clothes and my body
Hard fought
And wet with dog spit
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.
