Birds are chirping through the dawn
Light reflects off dewy lawn
Sneakers squeak on slippery grass
Trees bow in greeting as I pass
The chilly air sinks into my skin
But this morning I run to win
Jogging to the rough round track
Sprint as if fleeing from attack
Sweat trickles down my shirt
As my ankles and legs begin to hurt
Yet nothing this morning can dampen the day
At six o'clock I went out to play
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.
