Tapestry ( PIF)

I won Gold in a PIF contest by Maxboy.

I would like poems using the theme "Tapestry".

You can approach the theme any way you would like:
metaphor or realism; free verse, form, shape, rhyme...
I like poetry with a lot of imagery and detail.
Show me, don't tell me.

Length: 60 lines or LESS, please.

Rules:
Check grammar and spelling, please.
No erotica
Legible
Readable


If you enter a prewrite, it must be about the theme.
Otherwise, I will disqualify it.

Strut your stuff!
