POEM

Untitled

A poem I'm told
Is what I need
To write about
This jumble of beads.

An odd mix of colors
And bead sizes and shapes
Scattered here and there,
And just so you know
I even considered
Adding a bit of my hair.

I tried to make it ugly
And I think perhaps
I've succeeded,
With this clumsy jumble
That is completed beaded.

LIST OF MATERIALS:

brass colored metal button
brass colored safety pin and pendant for the clasp
brass colored star charm

various colors, shapes and sizes of the following:
Japanese and Czech seed beads, plastic beads, wooden beads, glass beads, clay and/or porcelain beads
