Question

Is there any poem on -"a stitch in time saves nine?"?

Answer 1

Poems of Raymond Lee Morehead Esq. FSA Scot.

A Stitch in Time

Life is the great multi colored, hand woven Tartan of time.

Swift is our needlework that passes through it,

Tethered by a tender thread.

For our stitches are made in memory's broad,

Multi colored delicate cloth.

Where one thread ends, the next only just begins.

Work done today and for all the tomorrow's,

Never will truly see an end.

Less, perhaps, in Imagination's great castled halls,

Where some foresee it finished,

And just hung on their wall.

Yet for most, they are just proud to have contributed,

They’re single stitch or two in time. ♥

Answer 2

Tori, Wonderful Kudos.

At this point in time stitches on my mind are on the sewing

machine.

Answer 3

It's a great cliche' that would be good poetry fabric.  I'll give it a try.

Too Late

by Victoria Tarrani ((c) 0807.01)

A life time of memories are

swift to unravel though

time after time

I've sewn them

together in my attempt to

cleverly weave each one in and

hide the many broken threads.

Innocence was bound with

neat loving stitches that you breached.

Trim the loose, fly away threads!

Instead I try to gather the bits and

mend the holes where love once lived --

eons ago.

Sorrow and tears weakened love by

absences, unexplained, unacceptable,

verging on neglect; and you knew

even I could not hold this together or

stitch fast enough to make it whole.

Now I need strong thread,

infused with hope, to bind the

nainsook fragile pieces into an

everlasting comforter.
