I wish you well with your contest entry. Using the word loom made your poem come together. Looms weave life into many things, cloth, carpets etc. And your loom is weaving the cloth of life. Well done.

    I worked with carpet looms noisily working away making glorious patterns. I was in the design studio and sometimes had to walk through the factory. Kxx

    Ooh, that's so interesting!
    YOU could easily write a poem about the cloth of life!

This could be mum and dad, or God and ourselves, but I do know that whether good or bad, parents have a definite affect, one would hope good, but I think it's a little bit of both, mind that could change with age, well done, Tina, blessings Roy

    I like that you pointed out everyone had different trials and smiles. So true. Thus, we are made of different cloth...Hmmm...maybe later I will add to this poem with that thought you inspired! Thank you!

Nicely done 15-syllable poem reflecting the meaning of life, and how things are weaved together to form the fabric of our lives from disparate strands

"What life's made of.
Fabric of Life" Um, flesh, bones, blood, breath?
Nicely met the 15-syllable requirement for this poem contest.
Very good metaphor of our lives being woven from/by trials and smiles.
I think you should change your name to Tina 'Cute'. :-))
Good luck in the contest!

    I do believe it's 15 syllables but thank you. I appreciate your vote of confidence!

Smiles is one syllable to me and trials is two... I love this one. You manage to make a memorable image and I know that isn't easy in such a small word/syllable allowance. The picture of the two weavers is excellent and the actual picture... the silhouetted rose (or is that an anti-silhouette) is perfect.

This fifteen-syllable poem, Fabric of Life, has the proper formatting and reminds the readers that it is the ups and downs of life that build a firm foundation.
