Poet’s Corner – Weaving with Colors

Marsha Solomon's poem tells us, in verse, how she constructs her paintings, which never fail to lift our spirits. Butterflies! Yes!

I do not weave cloth, twigs or wires,

I weave colors with canvas and papers.

Glancing at my palette

I know by touch, by sense, the colors chosen.

Thick and thin, the brushes take the stage

And sweep a broad fresh shape

Through many others.

Lines define.

A vase may appear abstracted yet contained in reality.

Many stages weave through appearing and disappearing,

Folding with a whisper.

A variety of textures are needed.

Yellow into reds, black swirls that melt into white,

Butterflies fly around the design,

Wings catching purple as cream.

Beneath the brush little star shapes dance.

Autumn leaves cross over and fall like clouds,

Lifting the threads of a woven sonata.

Poem called “Weaving With Colors” and artwork “Colorful Weavings” by Marsha Solomon

The Kitchen Table That Actually Works Hard

Fast furniture fills space. A wood kitchen table fills a role. It stays when trends shift and when rooms change purpose. It becomes one of the few pieces that moves with you rather than being replaced.
