I weave stories even in fabric
Seams laced with tell-tales
Of yesterdays, todays and tomorrows
Coffee stains
Wrinkled sheets
Lipstick on sleeves
From collars to buttonholes
I know their stories— wrote them
Even when all is said and done
I dare not change
In response to dVerse’s Quadrille: Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes hosted by De who challenges us to play with the word, “change.”
As I read this over and over, I can’t help but think I could have written this bottom to top. Well, I dare not change. Either way, here’s a little something. 😉

I absolutely love the details in this…coffee stains, wrinkled sheets. Especially:
“From collars to buttonholes
I know their stories”
And I do love that it is a mirror poem, can be read top to bottom or bottom to top. Nice!

Wonderfully descriptive poem … but I’m still pondering the “I dare not change”.

I love how much of the stories you could tell with just a few words.
