The Quilt

Patchwork dreams
corners of my mind untucked
lying upon a body worn
reliving swatches of time

scraps of material
bits of remembered days
sewn in patterning collages
memorializing all that was

    I like your word choices and emotion here, and that first line patchwork dreams was interesting word choice. Great poem.

      Precisely!

      I too am celtic in lineage. Scottish in my fathers side of the clan McWilliams(MacOilliams)and Irish on my mothers side of the Riley clan! Kindred spirits? Your grandmother was right indeed! This too has been my experience. I would be most honored if you would look at my poem entitled, "Entreaty to the Muses" and give me your honest opinion. Thanks for your indulgence! Best regards
