Punxatawny Phil
Hiding away
Sleeping in warmth
He must stay
Sprung from his den
He heard a great noise
It sprouted from thousands
Of girls and boys
He was grabbed and brought up
For the crowd to see
And those poor, large, brown eyes
Said, "Pity me!"
He never saw shadow
On that cloudy day
But the people they said
Winter's here to stay
Poor 'ole Phil he was scared
As they lifted him up
They may think he is magic
He is just a pup
Who wants warmth and springtime
Like any of us
And he looks at you bravely, says
What's all the fuss?
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.
