Pride, Prejudice and Poetry

The sewing room

Stitches on blankets show our dedication

Preparing for every occasion.

Tiny croses like stars in the skies

Staying up to stitch with blurring eyes.

Sitting in twilight for the finishing touch

Elegant ladies never get enough.

This room is definitely a female domain

The menfolk simple couldn't do it the same.

A piece of art is created each day

Between french, art and reading they know the way;

To make beautiful pieces with style

Floral stitched cushions lined up single file;

On a cream sofa the length of the window.

Every dash is an achievement to show.

The sewing is a metaphor of the achieving

Revealing dedication and femininity in the sewing.

The sewing room is the origin of her house

Blankets, buttons and beads lay all about.

With these creations they put thinks right;

Settling babies and husbands all night.

Country wide there is status in stitches,

Showing suitors of family riches.

A lady can be delicate and utterly fine

Shown in silence by a perfect silk line.
