You know
The look that will ease the yearning
The touch that will quench the thirst
You know
The feeling of wanton satiation
But I know it is
Your love
That is the sustenance that feeds another
All the while
You know
I Hunger

At dVerse Poets, our host Lis Li invites us to feed our poetic appetite with a quadrille, a poem of exactly 44 words not including the title, but must include the use of the prompt word “hunger”.
Raivenne, I think everybody knows the score in this situation except maybe the third person. I get irritated by thinking the one in the middle is enjoying the best of the best. Emotionally painful to read. I think of my ex and how quickly he found himself a new girlfriend and it hurts.
Beautifully manifested!
Effective use of repetition and space, which allow your quadrille to breathe evocatively.
Oh, I know – this was a good poem!
Love what you did here!
A great write around this feeling that most of us have experienced I’m sure. With age and wisdom though, we learn to quickly let goes things that are outside our control. Nicely done 👏
