A Tailor’s Christmas Eve Tale
A Poem for The Eve!
For Mikeydred’s December Prompt
Threads of kindness, spun with love,
weaves a fabric, gift from above.- Michelle Liew
*******************************
On Christmas Eve, in shadow's veil
A tailor sews under moonlight pale
His thread is white, his needle thin
He sews what souls yearn within
*******************************
In his humble room, his craft will fly
The tales to tell, not to deny
A teddy's arm, a doll's bent ear,
They regain their charm, and spread cheer
********************************
His own coat lies tattered and torn
Cloth spoilt by sorrow, now well worn
The tailor gives all, his works all gifts
But his humble hearth remains unlit
***********************************
Morning comes, a present shows,
New coat of warmth, with love now sewn
Each stitch a thanks, a blessing born
From his joy put forth, another won.
***********************************
Threads of kindness, spun with love,
weaves a fabric, gift from above.

Miss Persephone's Manual to a Seemingly Ordinary Life
Miss Persephone was found at the dining table, her blue eyes swollen, her tears arriving and retreating like the tides of the ocean. Earlier that day, her family had visited her in the retirement home where she had lived for eight years. It was her eightieth birthday.

This is beautiful Michelle. Very nicely done. 🤗💗
I love this idea, Michelle. Like a fairytale character. I want joy sewn into my clothes...and maybe the odd diamond?!
Tales from the heart and hearth, well spun for the season. May the tailor and all have a merry Christmas.
Oh, this is such a heartwarming tale! The tailor's quiet generosity, paired with the poetic flow, feels like a cozy hug wrapped in kindness. Perfectly festive and full of warmth—beautifully done!✨
