Sun Quilts Day
Dear World,
Quilting day is painful
Paparazzi snapping flash lights into my only good eye
I gather cotton to stitch the wonders of blue
My other eye waits
winks at you later tonight
when indigo curtain opens
and the silver screen brightens
Wind kept chasing me
moving my golden thread
my mood may change if
he keeps it up
while Trees shake and laugh
balance trees your Sun Salutations
are going to be hard to do without my handy work.
Backstitching sucks
Threading day to open daisy wide
is a gift-given to me by Mother Nature
aka Green Woman
I release my feathered hair
bleeding light to gently
tickle my family awake
first the song birds
next peepers and beetles.
My thoughts tumble into gathered batting
like convo bubbles
secret messages of
purple haze and crystal blue persuasion
for poets n' artists.
Steel wings glide around me-daily
seam allowances have been made
like dandelions blowing in the wind
I make a wish
for you
someone please tell me- my seams are uniform.
Watch for surprises as I love
to add Fat Quarters
Remember I am bias!
ATB,
Queen Soleil

My attempt with Kerry's prompt-
Pathetic Fallacy-n.
The ascribing of human traits or feelings to inanimate nature for eloquent effect, especially feelings in sympathy with those expressed or experienced by the writer, as a "cruel wind," a "pitiless storm".
I will return to read and comment! I am off to x-ray. I torqued my wrist lifting too many plastic bags and I heard a snap. (My neighbor chases me when I arrive home and I hurry in the house to avoid her.) She only speaks to me when she needs heavy lifting and I can't do it-so I run. I have tried to tell her-augh!
Comments
i dunno, i kinda hope my seams are not all straight, you know....smiles...
Take care of your wrist. Not everything has to be done 10 minutes ago, you know!
Sending an encouraging hug!
How heavy were your plastic bags? Not empty ones then.
A very intriguing set of ideas you hand us.
Helen-Thank you! I had to use that word-I thought it would be a fun ending! Thank you Helen~ Yes, it is!
Jo-hanna-Full-really full! I was dumb. I have a bad sprain and am wearing a splint. It hurts-I twerked it real good~ Thank you so much-yes, hand hemmming sucks, too. Thank you~
Sumana-Thank you-I thought it would be fun to see one eye closed like an owl. You are kind!
Mary Ann-Thank you! lol Yes, you are so right-I need to slow down and be cautious. One day her AC had died and I invited her over-which I thought was odd she didn't go to VA. She is always on the go and four of her five kids live there. One is close-it was a long afternoon-we were fine until she wanted to tell me about all the diabetes she knew had lost limbs or died.
Sherry-She has tunnel vision-I swear~ Great idea I will keep my splint on for now and use it when needed. ;D Thank you so much~
I loved yours too...I gotta go play catch up~
Kerry-Thank you Kerry! I want to try and write another one-I had an unique piece of art I wanted to pair it with. You are very kind~
Alex-It is a sprain! Thank you~
Funny to imagine, but not funny in reality!
Brian-lol, no my seams are not straight, but perfection is a difficult dance. I am okay-just a bit miffed at myself. Live n' learn ;D Thank you~
