(Here’s a peek at the earrings I made this week—and the poem they sparked.)

“Penny_Pinching_Jewelry on Ebay”

Earrings, earrings, which one’s make you sing

Earring making is my fun evening hobby things;

Wear them proudly, wear them strong—

Someday I’ll be old, still humming the same song.

Earrings, earrings, those pretty, dangley, things.

Everyone with ears loves the sparkles that they bring.

Clip them, hang them, or poke them through—

A pretty pair of earrings won’t ever leave you blue.

Earrings, earrings—my favorite kind of bling.

I’ve been making so many, it’s like flowers in spring.

Earrings, earrings — I so love making earrings;

Pant suits to dresses, pick your style of blings

Earrings, earrings—my handmade lifelong dream.

I list on eBay; their my storytelling theme.

Earrings, earrings—dangley, bright, and new—

Come and look; you might find a pair for you.

Handmade in Wisconsin with my Penny Pinching name.

No two pairs are ever quite the same.

One-of-a-kind, that is what I like and sell;

Grab your coffee and come browse a spell.

We aim to please if something’s just not right—

We dislike sad customers, as some customers really bite.

So, drop on by; let’s make an earring deal or two;

Or tell me what you like — I’ll try to custom one for you.

Then put those pretty, dangley earrings on your ears and enjoy;

Just don’t let the dog or the little ones think earrings are a toy.  

Authors note:

The earrings shown here are from a recent handmade batch. My shop ships within the U.S. only, and these pairs may be sold by the time this poem appears on Cozy Poetry Corner.
