Three Q’s

By Gypsie-Ami Offenbacher-Ferris

In response (I think) to F3 Gastonia’s
Round Three – Q’s Quicken, Quit, Quilt

As Quicken winked at Quilt passing through
She blushed her colors ran
hues of red and blue

Quilt looked up so shy and sweet
Her squares lined up properly
very straight and wonderfully neat

Demurely did she smile and say
Quicken you must quit this day
Friends we are and friends we’ll stay

Quit I can not said Quicken to Quilt
Your colors do swirl and capture me
Keeping me completely atilt

My weaver wove a heavenly cast
Into my squares and meant to last
for years to come and was a gift

But this lovely quilt is not for you
Sewn with love so very true
A little boy I’ve been made for

So quit this day Quicken Sir
for its not here this quilt will stay but
Swaddling a babe with love and care
