Haven't we all been there? With me its keys.
I like the frantic search wording as if you are looking for keys, glasses anything your reader thinks or has experienced in searching for a loss item.
Then you surprise with the lost item - a perfect thread.
While I will never be searching for a perfect thread, but I found a perfect search poem.

A very sweet poem! I thought it was going to be about missing glasses at first, but a thread is much more wholesome and sweet. Great work and I'm glad you found the thread.

LOL, that is just how it is! You can search everywhere for the exact match, and never find it again. But you did! I love all the running and scurrying, hither and yon, and all those fun descriptions until, at last, you found it! Your are so good at these Fabulous Free Verses, I really enjoyed reading it. Well done, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx

This work has reached the exceptional level

What a fun free verse, Yvonne. I laughed particularly at the end. The image is perfect. You give readers a great feel for this frantic search with your well chosen words like seeking, searching, running, peering, squinting . . .
I really like how you used the word 'match' near the end. Of course one wants everything to match if one takes the time to do intricate embroidery.

I like the great use of s & m alliteration, avail/fail cross rhymes. looked/took near rhymes (assonance)

Thank you for always giving your best for the club!
Respectfully, Jan

Hello Yvonne.

You did a good job with the construction of this free verse an used some different sentence and phrase techniques to narrate the story.

Lovely wording. At first I thought you were writing about lost car keys. You do an excellent job of describing the search--frantic, searching, seeking. Then you tell us it's the perfect thread you need for your embroidery. I enjoyed that twist. Determination always pays off. Great subject for the "match" event. Another great idea. judi

Such an adorable free-verse with cute clip-art to add to your poem! Great rhythm and love the following, flowing sequence:

"searching,
seeking.
Peering and squinting"

Fun surprise that you were looking for embroidery thread...I honestly thought the poem was leading up to looking for and finding your "glasses" ... right there on top of your head!

    It could have been. I've been known to do that, too. Thanks for taking the time to read and review my bit of silliness.

-Cute artwork and
nice presentation.

of being frantic very well
from the first word.
-Then, there's all the searching.
-Gotta love the ending, too.
-The things we do for the
little things we have misplaced:)

Lol! Well, it shows your expertise in sewing and embroidery! I can't remember when was the last time I tried to match the color of a thread - maybe to replace a button or fix a sock. Enjoyed your free verse, Yvonne!
