Description
CREATIVE SPARK
Anything that sparkles
In your imagination
Qualifies
The shine
Is in the passion
The excitement of
Beginning
A friend just brought me a
Dress pattern
Knowing I would love it
Even though I
Wasn't
Going to
Make
Another
New
Thing
Now there is fabric
Everywhere
Scraps
Panels
Stacks of pinned
And cut
Ready-to-assemble
Gorgeousness
Purple and blue
Green and teal
Batiks prints solids
Waiting to become
Something
That never existed before
I tease the one
Who inspired this
Tell her she's evil
But she knows
I'm delighted
She was the
Creative catalyst
Enzyme
Impetus
Motivation
We two are part of a
Larger group
Each one following along
Eager to see my progress
Knowing the inspiration
Comes around the circle
Any random word
Might start something
New
Like those different fabrics
We come together
To make a whole
Each of us brings something
Different
Unique
We are stitched together
Like those beautiful colors
And the result of our
Coming together
Is as wonderful
And infinitely varied
As a warm quilt

The December challenge topic in the Writer's Gallery was "Shiny New Toy." This poem arose from that challenge, even though it's not strictly on topic.

Thank you to those of you who responded with such compassion to my last post. Although photography processing (and viewing) is too much right now, I'm doing other things.
I'm finding a lot of satisfaction in fiber arts ... a lifelong passion ... and this poem is dedicated to the group of women with whom I meet twice a week to play with anything made from threads.
The dress was finished yesterday, and the poem soon thereafter. :)

This is a well written piece, and I'm glad you were able to post it. Don't push yourself too hard, but I'm glad you can do fabric art. I was into that for a long time, it's a lot of fun and easy on the eyes. Best Wishes.
Wonderful poem Tara! I'm glad you're able to divert your energies into the fabric arts. makes me want to locate my crochet hooks and get going on something
Years ago I'd never heard of teal. Now its one of my favorite colors. Very glad to hear you've found an outlet for your creative spirit. This poem is a wonderful example. So here's a thought, Bill has a camera. Can we see some of your work? If it is anything like what you have posted here it should be a delight.
Your poem says so much, and as fir your group., what delight and fun ! SO glad you are in full go in another medium, Tara. I like Mark's idea, let's see the results soon.
Nice writing sweetie. Glad you have rekindled the threads thing, but I know your itchy finger will be back on the 70D shutter soon. Oh Jess Jess Jess!
Amazing work Tara. God bless.
Beautiful poem. I was surprised to see you had a post. I was so pleased to see that you have decided to use that wonderful creative talent of yours to continue to do beautiful things. Both are a wonderful surprise! Looking forward to more.
Awesome poem, love it!
A lovely poem, Tara! I've often thought it would be cool to do a large fabric mural of some of my Poser art or photos. Something along the lines of colonial punchwork, or rug hooking... Something else I'd like to learn to do that I don't have time to..... sigh I need to retire... Hope you can post a photo or two of your fabric art sometime. Hope things are well with you and Bill.
thats wonderful done, even for me, knowing absolut nothing about englis.. you know handle spirit, words, imaginaton, phantasy- you have my admiration!
Wonderful poem!
