May 2009

   

This poem won first place in the Poets Society of Texas contest.

 

 

Afghans
by Jimmie Radliff
 
More than one hundred times
she gifted, with miles of stitches
in pleasing varied hues,
those she wanted to bless
with crocheted warmth
                of her caring.
 
As long as she could see,
busy hands and nimble fingers
controlled threads through
familiar patterns, which
seemed to take shape
                magically.
 
Now she is gone, yet the
soft touch of her talent, and
generosity of her gifts
still envelop and inspire, with
intricate afghan embrace
                of her great love.
