NaPoWriMo April 4: Dreaming quilts

This morning, I woke early.
I could almost see that next quilt.
Purple and scrappy,
that's all I knew. The reality?
A stack of partly sewn blocks and scraps awaits, and now,
the center of this comfort quilt is done,
vibrant flowers to keep someone warm,
perhaps enough to dream
past winter and into spring.
Center block with finished quilt to come (April 2023)

Today's poem was inspired by Robert Lee Brewer of Writer's Digest. His challenge? To write a poem that somehow was both realistic and dreamlike. See his work HERE and what others have written HERE.

  1. You definitely met the requirements for that poem. I enjoyed and the quilt you pictured alongside it.
