What does your crazy quilt of your life look like?

Question

A crazy quilt of my life would be wonderful for me to see

No one else would have it, unique,one of a kind, Me

The size would be queen and heavy to keep you warm,

To wrap tight yourself in during a nasty storm.

I would divide it up in sections, each a special place.

Some would be tattered, some delicate Irish lace.

The colours would go from dreary gray to bright sunshiny yellow

There would be hues of all the blues,pinks some sharp, some mellow.

Passionate reds throughout it all, forest greens everywhere you look..

Areas would be black and white like the pages of my favourite book.

Crazy, unique,over-stated it would definitely be

After all, my crazy quilt is suppose to depict me.

Answer 1

I love it. It is very creative to see a life, compared to a quilt.

Thanks for sharing. I hope to see another poem of yours again. This one was both interesting & good.

Answer 2

Some great images and your first two lines...extremely strong.  You change tense in the third?  This has much merit but to me it needs some more editing to make it "real crazy."  Examples:

Some would be tattered...others Irish lace

Colours from grayest gray to brightest yellow

Blues in all hues. Pinks...soft to bold

As to my quilt... quite ordinary.  I am trying to add some color though!

Get back to work now and make this one really bounce!

Answer 3

Great!  I'm delighted you ventured forth...mine is yet on the sewing table.
