Beep
Balloon bubble shimmers green,
On cue – jarred springs twist,
Spark, curl
Beep
Lulled shadow clouds melt,
Leaving scars that dance, skip,
Journey on breezes
Beep
Drizzling grins
Don’t spill
in open giggles
Beep
Dawn rose in ghost whispers
To breathe still
but I
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…

Today at dVerse we’re asked by Grace to write a Quadrille, a poem of exactly 44 words – not including the title, and to keep it still. “Still” being the word that must be used in the poem. I went for the ultimate stillness.
As an added bonus this is also with all the words. The word list so far:
dance, lull, bubble, grin, melt, shimmer, twist, skip, green, breeze, spill, rose, journey, jar, leaves, open, shadow, cloud, spark, cue, breath(e), scar, curl, whisper, dawn, ghost, giggle, spring, balloon, drizzle, still

An inventive Quadrille that makes great use of sounds and verbs. I particularly like the lines:
‘Lulled shadow clouds melt,
Leaving scars that dance, skip,
Journey on breezes’
I liked the last stanza with the dawning in ghost whispers and the person’s last breath.
Very innovative.. love the use of all the words.
Gorgeous!! I love; “Lulled shadow clouds melt, Leaving scars that dance, skip, Journey on breezes.”
I agree – the ghost whispers line got me. Beautiful work.
