Post a review of this poem.
David J Cadieux (cadieux@voy.net) from Trenton, Georgia 
Reflection on a silent message of love Though dying, the sister is perhaps keeping her mind occupied by making the patchwork quilt. Being that she uses her sisters old clothes to make it shows that she is wanting to express the closeness that they have had together; but more than that it is something that speaks a message of love and remembrance when she passes on. The fact that she pricks her fingers while quilting can be either the normal "job hazard" or indicative of a hurried situation, being that she wants to complete the quilt before her demise. I really enjoyed this poem---Thanks.

Soft loving strokes The syncopated repetition mimmicks the quiet weaving of needlework...Really well written poem of quiet love...Thanks

Through repetition (an interesting pattern in itself), mary conveys the mutual love between family members: one sister quilting a quilt for the other while "slowly dying"; the other anticipating the warmth and comfort of the quilt which will wrap her in love. Very touching...
