Rainbow cotton candy

Old fashioned

Cream muslin
White satin
Blue polka dots
Red velvet
Pink flowers
Purple lace
Black nylon
Yellow cheesecloth
Green taffeta
Orange chiffon
Grey linen
Faded denim
A rainbow of colours
To tempt the most idle
Dressmaker
To tempt her passion hidden for years
Rows and rows and reams of colours
All to tempt her to live idle days no more
The coloured. Cotton satins and glorious textures to make
into curtains dresses jackets and she couldn't wait to pay the lady
The lady asked her what she wanted
She replied you choose dear
I can only hear
She saw the cotton candy colours though
In her eyes all aglow
In her imagination clearly so
With tears under those dark glasses
That trickled silently below
And she knew that she had to try to sew
To feel the colours come alive
She knew her cotton candy
Had to be sewn by her
Before her time to die
And when she dies
She will lie in a dress made by her
The colour it don't matter
She will wear it
It will be her cotton candy
That she makes
That will keep her coloured
Up so pretty
As she lies under blue and
Sunny skies
On that rainbow hill
The package wrapped so neatly
Brown paper and some green ribbon there
She took it home and sewed all night
She made a dress a purple dress that long cold night
She'll see the colour
That glorious purple hue
When her spirit flies up to her
Maker
Up through her cotton candy rainbow skies
In her purple cotton candy
Purple haze
That holds no blind disguise
In purple skies

(applauds) This is incredible!!! :D My nan and Big Mammaw sewed clothes and quilts for their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. :) My nan LOVED making patchwork quilts and we still have several of them. :) This poem is as beautiful as the rainbow itself. Brilliant work, my friend. :)

This inspiration came out of nowhere before sleep now but my mum and mum in law sewed on those old machines with the treadle
