I especially love the ending. And congratulations on being part of Kenn Nesbitt's project. This is one book I want to own (not just borrow from the library).

I love your poem, a compilation of all the love and change in mother to daughter. I still hear my mother's voice, miss all our conversations, and now my daughter and I talk, a reprise continuing. Thanks for reminding us of all that mothers are.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084574475796190316.post-87411441583012679622016-10-28T15:01:15.291-04:002016-10-28T15:01:15.291-04:00Brenda,

It fits the challenge so perfectly! (Should I change the copyright date in the wrap-up presentation?) I love how your poem weaves together nursery rhymes and memories... or stiches them together, to go with your analogy. Like a beautiful family quilt. I also agree with Amy, your description of OMTB is lovely, as well... and all of it true.Michelle Heidenrich Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02051827857519159837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084574475796190316.post-12717792982657528042016-10-28T09:33:50.071-04:002016-10-28T09:33:50.071-04:00What an emotional journey your poem takes me on, H...What an emotional journey your poem takes me on, Heidi. I like the touch of fairy-tale whimsy in "wire briar limber lock" and "apple seed and apple thorn".
