first day at school

I was a bit too quick when I posted my haiku last week as at that time I had not yet translated the haiku into a piece of art. I'll repeat my haiku here so that you do not have to scroll down:\

A first day at school
Numbers, Letters, they call you
No more time to play?

This haiku inspired me to make this journal quilt:

At the moment it is only fused, I have not yet had time to stitch/quilt/bind it.

My first haiku

Beginning is a fitting theme. Besides Sinterklaas poems (Dutch version of Santa Clause) I never composed a poem in my live till I found this group. This is my first haiku:

A first day at school
Numbers, letters, they call you
No more time to play?

I even have an idea to translate this poem into a quilt.
