Re: DISCUSSION: Poetic Patterns

Medley of Memories


She sewed the patchwork, blue then red,
as memories rolled through her head.
The patches took her back in time
to people, places in her prime.

         I wore these jeans to the farm store to buy horse feed for ol’ Seymour.
                   Mama wore this calico when Dad took her to that ice show.
         I kept this remnant from the shirt that Grandpa wore when he got hurt.
                   This scarf I wore upon my head when we drove off after we wed.
         Here’s something from the dress I wore when the twins were only four.

Squares of fabric, dear archives,
of patterns worn throughout their lives.
