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.

That Dreaded Poem You Wrote For School or No Judgements
Dreaming
I lie in bed awake at night
And when I dream, while fast asleep
I am a bird, wings raised in flight
Awake before the dawn’s first light
Remembering dreams, struggling to keep
I lie in bed awake at night
Soaring high in sparkling white
Dreaming sweetly, delving deep
I am a bird, wings raised in flight
But when I cannot sleep, my sight
Across my bedroom ceiling sweeps
I lie in bed awake at night
Start counting sheep, put up a fight
I cannot sleep, I cry, I weep
I am a bird, wings raised in flight
Awake, asleep, it is my plight
Forever in the bedclothes heaped
I lie in bed awake at night
I am a bird, wings raised in flight
