Tanka challenge 11/19/11
Nov. 19th, 2011 02:17 pmInstead of brush strokes
I write my poor intentions
With needle and thread.
My forebears copied the sutras,
I must take another way.
Prompted by an explanation I had to give a friend who offered to help me sew for Twelfth Night if it came down to crunch time. I must sew every stitch and I must do it by hand. If it was important enough to me to hand sew everything I make before Their Majesties ambushed me, how much more so for the clothing I am to wear on the occasion I join the Order of the Laurel? Thanks, but nobody gets to help with this bit.
