It has been some time since I updated this blog. I hope that it will not take too long to put things into some order, here. “Patchwork Prose & Quilted Poetry” hearkens back to my mother’s quilting and my incessant writing. I have now only one quilt from her, which is tucked away in the linens cabinet. My sister-in-law in the City has finished another from one of the many quilt tops that Mother had not yet made into functional quilts. Because of the long-term, ongoing problems with travel, the other quilt is still there… not here.
Month: March 2021
crowdom
Waiting for the Flowers
distant thunder
darkening skies
the thunder in the distance
guns…or rain

I wrote this poem on 24 March during a Poetry Heals workshop online, but made a few changes and found a picture to support the mood. It was a reaction to the shootings that had/have been taking place recently.
Evening’s rest

chattering of squirrels
as they settle into sleep
twilight turns to night
the mockingbird sings his song
to stars strewn across the sky
