Plants

Field’s Blue:

Flax in fields of morning's light,
Flowers blue, a pure delight.
In the breeze, you gently sway,
Flax, in nature's play.
In your blooms, the world's at peace,
Flax, worries cease.
Field's blue in morning's hue,
Flax, always true.

Plants

Fiber’s Gift:

Flax in fields of golden sun,
In your fibers, life's begun.
In your stalks, the weavers find,
Flax, nature's kind.
In your threads, the world does weave,
Flax, in nature's eve.
Fiber's gift in morning's light,
Flax, pure delight.

Plants

Blue Bloom:

Flax in fields of morning's dew,
Flowers blue, pure and true.
In your blossoms, life's embrace,
Flax, nature's grace.
In your beauty, peace is found,
Flax, all around.
Blue bloom in morning's glow,
Flax, in nature's flow.

Flax Fiasco

Flax in fields, so blue and bright,
I thought I'd weave them, oh so light.
But every time I tried to spin,
The flax would tangle, a messy win.
I laughed and pulled, it made a knot,
My weaving dreams, a tangled plot.
I tried again, with all my might,
But flax just tangled, out of sight.
Now I just watch it in the field,
My flaxen dreams, I had to yield.

Fiber Fun

Flax in fields, with flowers blue,
I thought I'd make a shirt so new.
But every time I tried to sew,
The flax would tangle, oh what a show.
I laughed and sighed, my shirt a mess,
My flaxen dreams, I must confess.
I tried again, with threads so fine,
But flax just knotted, every line.
Now I just admire from afar,
That flax in fields, like a star.
A lesson learned, with fiber fun,
To let the flax stay in the sun.

Flax’s Thread

In fields where blue flowers bloom,
The flax plant weaves nature's loom.
With stems so fine and seeds so bright,
It graces the earth, pure delight.
The flax, a symbol of the thread,
Connects us all, as stories are spread.
In every fiber, a tale is spun,
Of life's own weave, of days begun.
Through summer's light and autumn's chill,
The flax's presence is with us still.
A fabric of the earth's own bed,
The flax plant's story is widespread.
