Petals. #quadrille
My heart yearns,
For that first touch.
Petals dropped,
That autumn,
Back when,
Way back when.
The memory of her,
Drifting in the smoke,
The smoky distant,
Past Of my youth.
Fire side in the woods,
Where we both,
Dropped our petals,
Of innocents.

Hello all its quadrille Monday again my favourite of the sessions at #dversepoetspub. I just cannot resist dropping by and sharing with you. This evening with Lillian’s prompt my mind drifted back way back.
Glazed.
#quadrille, #poetryrules, #dversepoetrypub.
Grainy conscience with Bullshit hangover,
Mind glazed over.
.
Aftermath of ignorance,
Kicking common sense
Am I too much?
Glazed eyes reflect,
Back communication.
Aftermath of ignorance,
Kicking common sense
Grainy with Bullshit hangover,
Mind glazed over with ignorance.
Glazed eyes reflect,
Back communication.

thanks to the wonderful quadrille form i have managed to release some of the pressure that is building around me at the moment . Thanks De for tonight’s prompt @ #dversepoetrypub.
Rumpus #qudrille.
Fully engaged with the who-ha,
Hullabaloo driven at full speed,
Into the peace.
Noise and mischief engulfed,
Feedback whining into my psyche.
The open mic rumpus kicking,
Into beer fuelled ecstasy.
Neighbours grimacing at the clamour,
No music fan among them,
Wanting peace restored.

Ooh what a wonderful word for a quadrille, thanks kim. here at #dversepoetspub we do like a good play with words.
Jib-ber-jab-ber slow.
Mind slowing down,
Too full of,
Others,
Jibber, Jabber.
Snails’ wit faster,
After my bath,
Of stupid.
Mind slowing down,
Too full of,
Others loud,
Jibber, Jabber.
Escargots de Bourgogne,
The answer to,
The snail brained,
Twit Wit exchanges
Ending penguin poo, hullabaloo taboos.

Celebrate, lets.
#fisherywharf, #haibun, #haiku, #dversepoetspoets.
Tin for ten. Oh yes not quite silver. Ten years of the Fishery Wharf café. The very place where I learnt to share my words, my poetry. Invited I have been to participate in a celebration poetry slam, my first. So, participate I shall, I shall.
Canal side party,
Within natures corridor,
Celebrate the day.
