Here we stand, all fairy-shimmer green and
keen to catch that dance-dark twist, our
sister spilled and skipped
across melting bubblestars.
With a sinister grin,
he leaves the door ajar,
an open journey, lulling.
Us?
We’re strands
of (p)rose.
We’re chasing shadows.

I’m hosting the Q44 today over at dVerse. Come play!
Delightful!
Lovely. The final line is so good, the concept and images. One of the things I’ve come to enjoy about writing the quadrille is the creative use of hyphens that create words and images that just delight…such as yours.
I adore the way you have turned the dark green fairy sinister…almost like absinthed visions.
Lovely stuff. Victoria is right – those word blends are wonderful. They create such fizzing, dancing imagery.
Well…what can I say? I ADORE Peter Pan and Neverland – to this day. This is my first poem to read this afternoon….sigh….I shall go on but this one has me dreaming in fairy shimmer green. LOVE IT!
I always thought Peter Pan was sinister – love that play on words!
Can I play too? Loved this innocent tangle of limbs and glowing shadows.
Oh marvelous play on words, De ❤️ just amazing!! 😀
I like this one with its dance and lilt. Pan for sure. 🙂
There is a place where dreams are born… and demons never land
Nice one.

I like how the shadows never land.
Oh gosh, this is splendid, and I love “across melting bubblestars”. Clever, that one.

I love these. Especially this section:
“keen to catch that dance-dark twist, our
sister spilled and skipped
across melting bubblestars”
And what you did with “p(rim)rose” and “Never-land.”
Oh, THAT Pan! At first I was thinking of the goat-footed one. I love the playfulness.
