Big Tree

chapter 1

commmenced a single stitch
waited long years to finish it
a single stitch
where love has built.

what a big surprise
when love started to bloom
 when i taught him how to make
a single crosstitch.

couldn't believe at first
how this man
shared my simple interest
knowing that
he's every woman's man.

i was o'er the moon
my heart melted
my hands felt the jitters
i knew i was in love
i just couldn't understand.

from a single stitch
i then framed a finished crosstitch
it showed a BIG TREE
stood steadily
that seems can withstand
every storm and stong wind.

all i wish...
that our love for each other
is as strong as the BIG TREE
conquer the storm
fight for our love
til the end of time.

It's simple and so sweet. I like way you compared the stitch wit love. A very good metaphor.beautiful.

[The Tea Party Mouse.]

Very clever, from begining until the end. :)

[Theresa]

Beautifully written and I like the way you compared love to a single stitch and how it eventually will become a tree. Love is created simply and then grows into something so much more. Really enjoyed this.

[Cassandra D.]

this was very beautifully written.

[Bud]

Love is the very fabric of life, so it is only befitting and natural that it be built from a single stitch... Outstanding.

[Jenny Nelson]

Very nice. Great description. Love the symbolism in this.

[Gabriella]

Beautiful, can't wait to read the rest. It's a very sweet story. Is the rest of this book poetry that continues with these characters?

[mystic soul]

It took me awhile to get the gist of the poem, sorry it's my fault, i read it when i was still half asleep. But. I came back and read it again, and it was truly beautiful! I loved the simplicity of the poem that draws the reader to a love-filled emotion, as he/she remembers the past of being in love. Can be for the first time or whenever, but its there. The Big Tree for me was like a symbol or something for lack of a better word. It's obvious though since you've written it as something like that, that can be the sole symbol for how strong your love can grow.:) Great job, it was a truly lovely piece.:)
