your mind feels weighted down
knowledge is heavy
you know
last minute
cramming
now a thousand
tidbits float around
in your thoughts
the test is handed
out
and suddenly
you feel light as a feather
left to sit and scratch your head
wondering where it
all went
wrong
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.
Painfully good! You really nailed a specific feeling of despair. But the last bit made me chuckle at the same time. :)
