A Corner Was Brightened

This clunky door 

stood all broken down and sad

quite uncomely and dejected

against a weary fence

as I drove by one day 

a long while back.

Pass it by

I could not

for hidden beauty was seen

by this silly girl.

Married Man loves 

that his girl,

 with side-of-the-road treasures in hand

arrives home

as happy as if she had been treated

to the greatest of shopping sprees.

Loading this rather weighty find so lovely

into the car by myself

was quite a feat,

But maneuver it into the car, 

this girl did.

Since that day long ago,

it has been waiting in the corner,

or rather glaring at me,

demanding some inspiration

other than the random draping of this thing or that.

A few days back

this girl decided to make something

and of course, make it now

when preparing dinner for delightful friends

was the more appropriate use of this girl's time.

Being in such a hurry,

the room,

no, the house, 

was quite strewn 

with scraps of all possible goodnesses.

of yarn, fabrics, laces and more...

A few hours and a big mess later,

voila!

a curtain-ish lovely brightens the corner.

But a meal for dear friends

must be made.

The table set.

Our hearts prepared.

So set aside this curtainly creation I did.

Being the imperfectionist that I am,

tape and thumbtacks hide behind said door

where none can see.

So, indeed, someday I will return,

new lovely.

This girl will in time add

a goodly amount of stitches and adornment

to our newly brightened corner.
