Crazy Patch

by Ruth Y. Nott

Just as the pieces of a Crazy Patch quilt are varied in size and shape and sewn together with stitches fancy or plain, our lives vary from day to day and year to year, and are sewn together with stitches of love, some fancy and meticulously done, some plain and simple, some fraying over time. This collection of poems is representative of my crazy patch life, some bright and new, some showing their age, some seemingly finding their way here from an alternate universe. Just as our lives twist and turn on a whim, so does this poetry patchwork.
