Patchwork

Patchwork

Scrap fabrics

of living essences

Primary pattern

self permanence

 

My tapestry

of patchwork events

Seamed together

as one display

 

Some square

grey scale depictions

Lay next to

the vibrant chromatic

 

Showcasing both

times of elation

And lugubrious periods

of darkness

 

Experience threads

are the stitches

Binding this

one off crafted form

 

The cut pieces

from life’s cloth

Pressed

and squared throughout

 

Mantled in

this chequered covering

It’s clear to see

who dwells inside

Very imaginative. Like how you approached this piece very much. Your image is perfect for your lines. You must have selected that first, composed second. Now tell me I am wrong:) My Nan did patchwork, so you also managed to bring back some fond memories Phill. Thank you.

I just love your theme here! Makes me visualise a myriad of patchworks, each unique, exquisite, worn, threaded in a different way. The image used just enhanced the feel of the poem! Appreciated very much!

Wonderful imagination. Life definitely is a patchwork of different events, good and bad, happy and sad :)
