Just seen the notification that it’s quadrille day at dVerse poets pub. A quadrille is a poem of 44 words, and I like to make them rhyme. I love quadrilles so here’s the first one.
Dark night,
star bright,
dawn breaks,
day wakes,
and in the trees
flutters a breeze,
feathered, unfurled,
leaves uncurled
with birdsong loud,
wreathed in cloud
of all the hues,
the reds and blues
that ever mind dreamt,
in heaven time spent,
morning’s pure light.
What a wonderful rhymed progression… from the break of dawn to that full day
Thanks Björn. I’m a sucker for rhymes—when I can, I do 🙂
Beautiful. I’m looking for beauty and peace today. Well done.
Thank you 🙂 It’s something we could all do with at the moment.
Beautiful flow to this
Thank you. The rhymes help.
Particularly like this: of all the hues,
the reds and blues
that ever mind dreamt,
Quadrilles suit you!
Thank you! I enjoy these short poems.
Lovely. I needed that
I’m glad it worked, thank you!
I enjoyed the rhyme and the optimism.
Thanks Frank. The dawn breaks, however badly we mess up the world.
I like the rhythm and sounds – almost like a small water fall trickling with words
Thank you! That’s a wonderful compliment.
What a dawn to wake up to!
It’s a beautiful one here 🙂

I love the rhythm and the progression of your Quadrille, Jane, and the circularity of the rhymes.

Charming. Love the short lines, these 44 words feel like so much more
Thank you! It’s the poetry equivalent of the 100 word story—good exercise in saying what you need and only that 🙂
Very beautiful
Thank you again:)
Welcome Jane
I like the ‘softness’ of this breeze.
