Needles and Thread

evergreen thread
stitching together
each season to the next

Stitched

snow threads
through thistle needles
quilting winter

Sewn

the spider’s thread
with tensile strength of steel
stitches dawn to day

Repair

zigzag
is the stitch
that repairs the spider’s web

Fairie’s Pincushion

The wee folk embroider
with echinacea needles
using flower filament thread.
