The sky’s a quagmire
of quirk and quark,
a knick-knack patty
-melt of phrase
a quadrangle angle of quiet
’tude, a dis

Thaw me a wayward
cloud, a quartered song
to slip on, a quick quip
with which to make you
golden smile.

The quirk and quark… love it.. and yes the moon is up almost full.. I feel I melt from words of yours.
I am always so delighted with your way with words….knick knack patty melt….how that made me smile. You have taken the physics of quark and turned it into fun. My winter smile is now golden.
The “knick-knack patty” line is whack! Dog bones be damned! A fondue of words!
Love the: knick-knack patty
-melt of phrase
and that last stanza ~ You sure can melt the moon De ~
This poem is full of personality and spark. Your wordplay is particularly inspiring and brought a smile.
Really like how the lines break here, especially how you break up individual words. Very nice.
“The sky’s a quagmire
of quirk and quark,
a knick-knack patty …”
Ha ha ha. No “whack”? You must have known I’d be by. 😉
Love the alliteration of words! This whole poem suits you, De. It’s whimsical in every way. Love it!
Love that “knick-knack patty melt”…of course I finished it with “give the dog a bone!” Genius you are, De, and so much fun!
you are the reason we’re all (golden) smiling. Bravo, De!
I’ve no idea what you mean, but the words are meltingly beautiful.
Very quirky! I love that phrase ‘Thaw me a wayward cloud’!
Delightful and carefree!
I love your words, as always.
Knick knack patti-melt have me a chuckle. You have a way with making your reader expect one word, only to move to the next line and find something delightfully unexpected.
Coming in late after a poetry recitation last night, all your good lines have been quoted, & the accolades have been heaped up like bouquets of wild flowers sprinkled with spring fairy dust. Your line breaks & word wrangling are impressive & fun, stretching 44 words to its loveliest max.
“a quartered song
to slip on”
The whole poem was a joy to read! Totally agree with Glenn!
You like your alliterations and assonances very much 🙂

Absolutely loved it!
Such fun. It’s like a jumping rope song!
Funny how humans
make imaginary
connections
of stars in
skies
into alphabets..
words.. and books
of lore..
and no
longer look
at sKeYes oF Real..
greater and more
mysterious than
any lore.. book or
words
as
idols
for REAL..:)
