A great photo to lead into your poem, which follows the requirements of the Tyburn Poetry format. Your choice of words is interesting: "blending " as in bringing pieces together into one mended piece.

That works out well for the contest. I like the picture of the threaded needles. Those days are over for me. It used to take me a long while to thread a needle but these days I can't do it at all. Good luck with the contest!

    Patty, I had to forego the needle and thread to my dry cleaners seamstress.😊😉

What a delightful read! And what a rendering of bending and blending words intending to fit the pattern of ascending syllables! No pretending, your poem's sending a bit of amusement from beginning to ending. Thanks for the fun!

This is an excellent entry for the Tyburn poetry contest. I enjoyed the movement this poem seemed to have, though it is brief, and succinct. The photo, too, is wonderfully paired. Both your entry and the photo express a lot, despite their minimalism. Well done and thank you for sharing.

I still try albeit hands are shaky and eyesight makes it harder to thread a needle. I often pack care packages for the homeless. A little sewing kit is usually including while I ponder if the recipient will know know how to use it. Ancient skills are becoming extinct. Art and words are well woven. I wish you well in the contest.

    Jean I remember my grandma and aunts holding sewing circles and the chatter oh my, the chatter.

You have done well on this difficult type of poem. I love the subject you chose, and the picture of the needles and thread. You have used very effective words: "blending, wending, mending, tending."
