Hi fellow Arachnids,

Thank you so very much for the kindness of our Arachne lacemakers who send the
poem on to me. It is another delightful poem and I will add it to my
collection of lace-poems (most of which are Noelene’s.

Also my thanks and admiration for Noelene who can pen such lovely pieces.

Why I Like to Make Lace
By Noelene Lafferty

In today's busy world
Where life is one rush
And it seems to me speed is the norm -
When people can't stop
To hear a bird sing
Or thrill to a thundery storm -

In a quiet little nook
Just my own little space
I like to make time that's just mine -
With pillow and thread
And pattern all pricked
And bobbins all neatly in line.

There's something so good
To place thread over thread
And slowly see lines making sense
To cross and to twist
And to put up a pin
And forget all about feeling tense.

So when pressure is on
I retire from the world
Leaving troubles behind in my wake
To create something of beauty
So calming and quiet
And marvel at what I can make.

Noelene at The Angle, NSW, Australia
