Scarves by Joan McNerney

Scarves

I want to make scarves from the sky.

Since I'm not much of a seamstress,

here's hoping it won't be too hard.

To start I'll just pick up a fleecy

white cloud to cover my neck.

Maybe create a dove grey scarf

and cut out pale blue ones too. 

Make entire closets full of them.

At sunset I will fashion boas

of bright ruby and tangerine.

If lucky I'll find some rainbow

kaleidoscopes to wrap up in.

My midnight shawl will be long

gleaming ebony covering the

shoulders keeping in warmth.

I will list them on eBay and Craig's,

hang pictures on my Facebook wall.

Imagine, everybody will want them!

Would you like one too?

Better put your order in now.
