Art or Insanity?
The beads in colors I can't stand
I hold disdainfully in my hand.
The balls the cats refuse to play with,
Bias tape in knots I spent all day with.
The lace is old, been used before.
Hark, there's someone at the door.
Frowning men in coats of white,
I know the drill, I won't fight.

Purple Pattern Necklace
I can't decide which pattern's right.
I try and try with all my might.
Purple with white, purple with blue,
Oh! I just don't know what to choose.
I love ALL of the styles and beads.
I'll use them all; I aim to please.
So the next time I have a pattern to pick,
I'll break out the Purrple Pattern Necklace.

Her Majesty
Oh, I think that I shall never see
Purple beads so "love-a-ly"
As those sewn ever so carefully
Into this piece of jewelry.
My purple necklace is not meant to be
Just any old creation for you or me;
'Twas inspired by thoughts of heresy,
And offically names "Her Majesty."
Fit for a queen I'm sure you agree,
"Her Majesty" represents gaiety;
Not intended to ever look solemnly
But to always express spontaneity.
"Her Majesty" always laughs with glee
And thrives in a land of fantasy;
Leaping outside the normal boundary
Proclaiming to all, "I am royalty!"

Every bead in my necklace reflects various human emotions,
Thereof, my necklace is called "Human Emotions"
I think this necklace must be both beautiful and ugly,
Because people have both beautiful and ugly emotions,
So, this necklace is both beautiful and ugly.
If you have good emotions, you will see beautiful necklace,
If you have ugly emotions, you will see ugly necklace,
If you have both beautiful and guly emotions, you will see beautiful-ugly
necklace.
BUT; I know this ugly necklace competition,
So, I hope you to look at this necklace with only ugly feelings.
Don't get angry with this wish,
It's important to win this contest,
I think it's not ugly to hope winning the contest.

The Purple Mistake
I had a lot of purple things,
So a necklace I did make.
I tried to make it pretty,
and a long time it did take.
But the finished product,
Made me oh so sad.
it was an ugly necklace,
Oh boy did it look bad.
Too many purple things,
and lots of odds and ends.
Some parts were too straight,
and some, too many bends.
Maybe I'm too critical
of my handmade art.
Because this ugly necklace,
came right from the heart!
