Where Did the Seamstress Go?
~ • ~ • ~
Where did the seamstress go?
Does her sewing machine even know?
Was she overly stressed,
by her working demands and needed her rest?
Did she start to cry,
when she realized the mirror wasn’t her ally?
What does that news paper headline say?
Did it make her feel shocked or dull and gray?
The pillows lay in stitches of laughter about something.
Could they be ready for their next fling?
On the table, the lovely bouquet,
likely has the most to say.
It says the seamstress was loved by someone kind,
some days this is the hardest thing to find.

Well-wrought! Perhaps the seamstress now weaves starlight instead of thread, awaiting the inevitable arrival of those she left behind.
This one’s got a sweet, quirky vibe! It’s like a little mystery wrapped in warmth. The pillows and bouquet crack me up—such a fun touch. I bet the seamstress would be happy to know her absence sparked a poem like this! 🙌
This is very beautiful. The poem is deeply poignant and amazing, perfectly matching the picture. ✨
Wow, I love how it turned out... maybe only one seam was stressed, and she went to get a coffee 😁😊
This is so beautifully imaginative, Jesse! You gave life to simple objects with such grace. The bouquet's message hit straight to the heart. ❤
