Haiku Moments

[beautress]

no one to sew for
nor cook corn beef and cabbage
life of a widow

​

 

[beautress]

skip pity parties
life is a gift from the Lord
when we trust His calls​

 

[beautress]

pushing envelope
Nigerian prince appeared;
feigned wealth and justice​

 

[beautress]

finished sixty squares
fifteen, fourteen-inch blocks made
for the pinwheel quilt

​

 

[beautress]

off on a tangent
searching the web for patterns
that tell a story

​

 

[beautress]

butterfly species
seldom show up on a quilt
but they are a treat

​

 

[beautress]

someday someone will
create a blue skipper quilt
lepidoptera

 

[beautress]

One time embroidered
one dozen butterflies from
for charity bees

There are six butterflies here, but somehow they're the same but too big
mine were about 8" but exactly the same, and I embroidered them in all the colors of the rainbow.
I hope some poor child got them or they made it up for a college scholarship fund-raiser.
I never know what they do with my work. It took a year.
Oh, the above quilt has another group of patterns, but they look so nice here!​

kitten reclining
do sugarplums dance in head?
or is it catnip?​

 

[beautress]

sister's dad-in-law
will be in funeral mourned
by widower son

 

[Tijn Von Ingersleben]

Pensacola bum
Vomiting blood in the street
man's best friend eats it

Warm sun on my face
cool breeze and the sounds of surf
seagull shits on kid

​

 

[beautress]

morning has broken
blackbird has spoken "new day"
welcome to Heaven​

 

[beautress]

sister on my lap
sixty sixth birthday she'd be
if not for cancer​

 

[beautress]

lettuce, tomatoes
Angus beef avocados
taco salad time

​

 

[Tijn Von Ingersleben]

Nice bottle of red
The wife made sukiyaki
gonna beat them guts

​

 

[beautress]

hot blueberry soup
flour and butter and spice
made in microwave

​

 

[beautress]

little gnat circling
landing on screen, big mistake
summertime coming​

 

[beautress]

little grey birdsong
notes that are gentle and true
rapture of the wild
​

 

[Tijn Von Ingersleben]

The wife wants a blouse
ugly clothes every store
we buy wine instead

​

 

[beautress]

tassels lace and pearls
adorn some beautiful quilts
made with happy hands​
