I read a poem to my quilting class,
Which happens
over Zoom.
It got a
warm reception, so
They liked
it, I’d assume.
I wrote it
several weeks ago;
The topic:
sewing curves,
Which even
to a practiced quilter
Oftentimes
unnerves.
It’s satisfying
seeing
A reaction
to my writing,
Since mostly,
just my husband’s thoughts
Are those I
am inviting.
While
written comments gratify,
Like a
fellow poet’s note,
A responsive
audience can make
My spirits
rise and float.
My quilting
skills are modest,
Though they
have improved with time,
But the
talent I’m the proudest of
Is setting
thoughts to rhyme.
