Poet Lady Katz: new forum reply to an angel and her embroidery

New reply from Susan Katz

<p>I really like this poem.  I like the message.  I like the way you "spin" your story through a series of beautifully crafted images: "…</p>
<p>sometimes she blotted them grey</p>
<p>her tears kissed the earth</p>
<p>leaving behind her scent and bow</p>
<p>people called it rain…"</p>
<p>Each of your images works and creates a beautiful "picture" for us, a lovely reality that we can connect with (sunset, rain, sunrise, night sky) – well done.  I would like to feature this poem in my "Poem of the Week" section, in about three weeks.  Let me know if that would work for you.  I have been working on a poem and newsletter that deals with "The People I Love" – and I think this poem would fit beautifully into that theme.</p>
<p>Thank you so much for sharing this lovely poem with me,</p>
<p>Susan</p>

an angel and her embroidery

<p>My grandma always sang me to sleep</p>
<p> </p>
<p>    "there lived an angel in the cerulean sky</p>
<p>     wove sapphire yarns embroidered with</p>
<p>     lilac, pink and crimson fleece</p>
<p>     people called it sunset</p>
<p> </p>
<p>     sometimes she blotted them grey</p>
<p>     her tears kissed the earth</p>
<p>     leaving behind her scent and bow</p>
<p>     people called it rain</p>
<p> </p>
<p>     every dawn, birds twittered her a visit </p>
<p>     rooster hailed cock-a-doodle-doo</p>
<p>     so merrily she embroidered them golden</p>
<p>     breathed tender breeze swaying trees</p>
<p>     people called it sunrise"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>one night my grandma sang herself to sleep</p>
<p>her woven neverland forever lost</p>
<p>until I became a grandma and sang</p>
<p> </p>
<p>       "there lived an angel in the cerulean sky</p>
<p>       embroidered with silver and multitudes </p>
<p>       of orbs tucked in constellations</p>
<p>       people called it night sky…"</p>
