Why?
when the rain spills from the sky
do I feel the urge
to write a poem
that matches my feelings a solitary
gray thing that latches on to my soul
it sits and won't let go until I
share it with others in a poem
like a virus
a rainy day virus
clotting the veins and arteries
of cheerful people
making them morose in spirit
and me
i feel bad too a rainy day means a rainy
poem
sorry to disappoint
I will be cured soon
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.
