Dreamweaver

Painting by Josephine Wall

Interlaced threads of luster and silken seams

Weave a fantasy of gold taffeta dreams

Cross stitch kisses, promises and love notes

Embroidered whispers upon a sea afloat

Knit one purl two, a blanket under the stars

Needlepoint goblets of red wine afar

A gold cable stitch on left hand ring finger

A chain stitch linking our lives together

Before the bobbin soon comes to an end

Hurry...spin him into this dreamweaver's blend

As this interweaving dream stitches to a close

Finishing with satin stitches and a red rose

"Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens".... I Love this. The font is tiny,but after copy/pasting it to a text document to make it larger, it was seen to be a most wonderful poem to read!! It also reminded me of a song I know. The language is gorgeous with the perfect timing and this silky swell of beats going up and down and ending the lines on these perfect little notes. This was fun to read, Rose.... The only thing that kinda messed with the "rhythm" within these pretty words, was where the lines read like this to me: This is how it is, This is how it is, This is how etc..... Wonderful job and to throw "purl" in there was awesome. To even make the connection in lines between such a rare word and the sea was very nice. xoxo -Mark

[Travis Gibson (poetic heroics)]

It was FUN reading... the type of piece that makes the spirit of a writer seek out pen and paper! :)

BRAVA!

A wonderful metaphor carried through deftly. And with your usual smooth romantic style. I was swept away wiht the elegance of this one.

[SyberRose]

Oh thank you so much Steve...actually I can't knit a stitch...ha...glad you enjoyed:)

[SteveB]

This poem flowed so fluidly, and like a dream so lucidly. I really don't know what to say. I love the poem, and the flowery imagery provided. Dreams woven like the fabrics worn, are fantasies we all enjoy, although we do not weave it ourselves and have no control over it, we revel in the ride no less. Have to say it twice, but I love this poem.

(Just a suggestion, maybe instead of 'far' you use 'afar' or 'a far'? Completely unimportant, but I personally think that it would sound a tiny fraction bit better.)

[SyberRose]

Thank you so much for that and I will change it to afar...thank you Soma...hugs

[Soma-ko]

No problem, and great job. -Hugs back-
