Muscles straining
Bodies aching
Sweating
Joints popping
Hair swinging
Into your face
Tendrils sticking
To the back of your neck
Just when you have had enough
You start again
Repetition
Over and
Over and
Over
Until you are about to burst
And when you are about to burst
You stand back up
And continue
Rivers rolling down your cheeks
Face burning
Your brain is set
On one thing only
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.
Love it!!!
