I Like You Wild

Posted on January 27, 2020 by Raivenne

Don’t care if you’re white,

black or browned

Jasmine sweet

or nutty all around

The long or short of it

On plates of paper or china

You are wedded character

Valencia to Carolina

Some like you mild, nice

But I like you wild, rice

Today at dVerse Kim wants us to go WILD with our Quadrille, a poem of exactly 44 words, not including the title. The poem must include the word wild. My muse went a little silly with it.

Wild rice is delicious, and your quadrille is too! I really love the final lines, with repetition as well as internal and end rhymes. It made me smile. 🙂

This is great! I thought it was going to be a romantic poem, but then you ended it with “rice.” 😂
