love is first exciting needlepokes
new
shining
sharp
bringing vibrant colour
wonder unfolds
gasping
pulling
a spell begun
it's faded hues
newness giving way
to tiny, cramped stitches
beautifully crafted
shared lives depicted
vivid detail
it's stitches dropped
wonky knots
little blips that belong
a spell woven
over a lifetime

Thou Shalt Not Set Fire to a Nunnery
"You're going to have to help me move the body." Julie stood in the doorway to my room, which was a cell really, and she was as close to breathless as I'd ever seen her. She looked dashing in the moonlight, and lit up with the glow of adventure.

The Devil's Cut
“Comrade, finally you’re awake.” The voice was smooth, sensual. A flickering incandescent bar was all that lit the white, sterile room. All Vladimir remembered was everything going black. He tried to move his arms and found them strapped to the gurney.

Beautiful and metaphoric! Love it.
ohhhh this piece is so well done.... love how you tie every stage into something else!
Beautifully creative and expressed so well.
This is great! I love the metaphor linking embroidery and love.
Well-wrought! Love makes a much better family tapestry than war-banner.
I especially loved the last two lines! Well done!
I really enjoy this metaphor between a growing love and the process of weaving together a tapestry. Nicely done!
Love the use of photos to amplify the journey. Excellent!!!!

Very well written, L.C. Wonderful metaphor!
That was so creative. Well done!
So cute and clever
Similarities with first learning to stitch and learning to adjust with our love relationship. Very deep
You stitched that metaphor together beautifully! The final stanza was a perfect ending and so true
Beautifully written!
I loved how it went through the journey of new and exciting to eventually finding its way to be lasting and belonging. That was great!
What a beautiful comparison, our lives stitched together, who knows what the final product may actually look like.
