Turning the Corner

In quilting, sewing corners is

A challenge I can’t meet.

My sad attempts at mitered corners

End up in defeat.

 

I’m sure in every corner

Of the sewing world, there must

Be others who’ve had problems, too,

No matter how they’ve fussed.

 

Don’t back me in a corner,

Surely not one I have cut,

For the corner of my eye reveals

That when I’m in a rut

 

The tightest corner cannot hold

Some tricks that can be learned.

Forget my sewing – to the

Poets’ corner I’ve returned.
