woven
She whispers words,
silent prayers woven
along with thread.
Intricate layers,
symbols, symmetrically
placed in columns,
collected together,
keeping its wearer
warm against the cold.

poetic asides
For today’s prompt, write a crafty poem. My kids have been running around the house with pipe cleaners, tape, and scissors (ok, they don’t run with the scissors–at least when I’m watching them). There are any number of ways to be crafty, including little arts and crafts, but also writing, painting, quilting, and more. So get crafty with your poeming this week! – Robert Lee Brewer
