…
The moon’s on fire
again, akin to the dance-skip
of her own bright journeyspill.
Do you know her
bubble-lull-shimmer-green-grin, the way she melts
a shadow-sky; leaves us
wanting?
Her spark
starts our
twisted-crimsonrose fire,
held breeze-soft in open
jars for all these
cloudy years.

Fondly known as The One With All The Words, using all 19 of the Quadrille words so far. Come play with us at dVerse. I’m hosting.
Love this!
These sections are particularly de/lightful:
“Do you know her
bubble-lull-shimmer-green-grin”
(All those hyphens really made me chuckle.)
“crimsonrose fire”
“breeze-soft”
I love your moon here… that fire, that energy.. you give us something to jar forever.
Okay, so now I’m going to have to take up the challenge, too. But it may be for an OLN. I love moon poetry…especially when she comes alive like in this one.
I can feel the moon come alive, bursting with spark ❤️ especially love “Her spark
starts our twisted-crimsonrose fire, held breeze-soft in open jars for all these cloudy years.” sigh.. Exquisite write ❤️
Lots of love,
Sanaa
Oh that moon of yours, De….she speaks to you.
Wonderful job using all the Q44 words to date! 🙂
I love your moon and your ‘held breeze-soft in open jars for all these cloudy years.’
She does leave us wanting ~ Love this part specially:
Her spark
starts our
twisted-crimsonrose fire,
Amazing word-smithing De ~
I am always so moved by your poetry that I really don’t know what to say.
Lush, lush verbiage.
Love these words describing your moon, De: “Do you know her bubble-lull-shimmer-green-grin”. Really, it’s just all fabulous, as always!
Delightful use of all quadrille prompt words…you spark our imaginations 🙂
Oh, you are an amazing word-smith. You make it seem so effortless! This is just delightful.
I see you and Bjorn are having a bit of fun, very creative how the poem was spun 🙂
Her spark starts our
twisted-crimson rose fire,
At least something seems to be working well. Allowing for time it’ll work wonders!

Hyphenated compound words! Ha – now I see the trick to getting more than 44 words in a Quadrille but still technically follow the rules. This is brilliant and inspiring.
Oooh! Also ahhh! So beautiful. I want to steal a copy and print it out to put on my wall and look at whenever I want to be thrilled by beauty. (I’ll put your name on it. Is that OK?)
Of course, Rosemary. I would be honored. 🙂
‘Her own bright journeyspill’ – I just love that sound!
