Weave

Deadline

You are weaving a beautiful fabric to make into a garment for yourself. Your loom can weave with any substance you wish: the roar of a river, the fog of London, a sunbeam. What would you include in your fabric, and why? What strength or symbolism would these materials hold for you?

Submissions

  • Woven

    Woven from feelings of happiness and friendship, short-lived as those feelings may be.

    Woven from a cat’s meow and a dog’s tail wag.

    Woven from ideals of love and compassion.

    Woven from goodness itself.

  • My scarf

    My scarf wrapped around my neck

    Keeping out the cold bite 

    In it I feel the softness of a first kiss

    The warmth of a summer night 

    The comfort of a mother's love 

    And birds singing above me
