The Poet's Loom

rays of light through her woven word
with stories of life and fables
braided beauty quite undeterred
by visions that she enables

tapestries from around the earth
with patterned poetry that floats
blanket pages with wondrous worth
of pastel hue and floral notes

feather and fur and petals bloom
in perfect meter and measure
the woven words from poet’s loom
become garments that we treasure

written shawls of flattering shade
make such perfect gifts when handmade

    I'm sure the poems woven from your loom are treasured as well. Beautifully crafted piece!

    You write with such flare. A poetess indeed! The metaphores here are well designed as you weave your words into that rich blanket for such an honourable dedication. Just lovely...alby

    Very nice and fitting tribute to Marion. It describes her quite well. Loved the imagery! Congrats on the silver trophy!

  • Lovely poetry and such a beautiful tribute to a beautiful woman. Congratulations on your silver trophy, but moreso for truly capturing the essence of dear Marion.

    This is beautiful! A sonnet penned in octosyllable and it flows like silk. I cha see that Marion loves it, so do I.

    Love,

    oh, you got me with the "hand'maa'de" - you truly did !
    thank you so much for this most amazing and graceful rhyming gem "from mother to mother" (maa = madre ) ...
    it is a great honor for me to receive such a treasured gift from your cyber-pen and "real" heart ...

    I am delighted ... more than that ...
