I would give six stars if I could, this poem is simply amazing!! I love the rhyme you used and the adjectives you put in to describe things. "Color dreary gray" was my favorite part of this poem.

A very insightful poem. Wouldn't it be wonderful if each child came with a seamstress? I guess to some extent they do, but we call them mothers.

    Dear Thomas, it is only later in life that I realized that my mother is my personal seamstress. I'm happy you brought up that point. I don't know to what extent I affected my own children that way, but it's in the intent sometime, correct?

    I'm happy you found my poem insightful.

A whimsical poem with a message of need.
A broken heart needs mending, and the mending that's plead for is from the seamstress of dreams.
How eloquently your plea, and how brilliant your poem.
Good luck in the contest,
Rhonda

A very well-written free verse poem. Someone who can do beautiful needlework can be very creative. Often their work is not valued enough.

This is a beautiful little free verse piece, Jeni. Althougfh it is most definitely free verse, within the meaning of the term there is a decided formal pattern to the presentation with the repeated second line "you seamstress of dreams", and what a lovely description it is too to be repeated. This all hangs together beautifully.

I wish I had something higherr than the ubiquitous five stars to offer.

Writing is like sewing together what I call bits and pieces. You've done a grand job with these. The arrangement of your words are so very expressive.Thanks so much for creating this piece. All the best to you.

Bill

It is a good expression of your feelings. I like the last lines of crimson expectations, as it seems the seamstress may be with child. I like the photo
although it isn't a fit to the form of free verse or the concept of sewing and not to spinning.

    Hi! Once again I'm glad for your honest review. This time, I'm not going to change anything, because the poem is very personal to me and I find it to fit free verse, even though there is a repeating line. I'm sorry that you didnt like the pic!

    Again I thank you for your honest review.


    Blessed be
