#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream
Today is a party day
I will wear the dress
on display in the brook
of this morning's ice
Once I was a girl
she measured me
waist first, and after
let me point, a picture
from Simplicity, see how
a pattern asks for fabric
wants ribbon, needs a bobbin
She only chose the color –
which spool for thread –
of every dress's hem
she sewed by hand
