murmur me
something
in hungry ear;
some
-(n)ation of flock,
and flight. some just-right
square for be
-ginnings. of significant
light.
twinkle in
some small
spin of silence. some
mirth of mind.
somewhere to find
myself steeped
in ink-sanity
and the craziest
spill of time.

It’s Quadrille Monday over at dVerse, and I’m hosting. Come play!

nice
ink-sanity… so good just to mention one great pebble on your beach.
This feels like the carefully orchestrated insanity of a murmuration of starlings. Bravo!
‘some small spin of silence’ I like that. The alliteration is spot on.
I love the word play in the title, De, and the way your Quadrille scintillates! There’s also some wonderfully creative hyphenation going on there, and he wonderful phrases:’some small / spin of silence’ and ‘steeped / in ink-sanity’.
Lovely piece of writing .. love that pivotal ‘small spin of silence’
This needs reading again and again to assure missing nothing. VERY clever from beginning to end!
“steeped
in ink-sanity
and the craziest
spill of time.” Definition of a poet Love this
loving how the title is actually weaved into the content of the poem….and the starts of ink-sanity! 🙂 The twinkle and the spin of silence….I loved reading it aloud too!
“some mirth of mind” and “ink-sanity” are my favorites
The first three lines have me giggling.
If this were a riddle, I’d say you were a ‘full-stop”. Don’t ask me why….that’s what my brain envisioned! “….steeped in ink-sanity. ..” – genius!
I love “spin of silence, some mirth of mind.” Gorgeous write!💖
Now I want a poem called “of stalking starts and stops.”
“twinkle in
some small
spin of silence. some
mirth of mind.”
Oh, the beauty of this alliteration! A brilliant portrayal of starlings, and what a use of murmer!
Steeped in ink sanity!! That is what we are all about! Sometimes it is ink insanity as well…

Wow – loved this part
in ink-sanity
and the craziest
spill of time.
I think your ink-sanity is what helps to orchestrate the murmurings that cause this to flow so well
I like the crazy spill of time at the end.
Wow. That is some cool spillage.
twinkle in
some small
spin of silence
and then ink-sanity. sigh. too good! 🙂
Oh my, “ink-sanity,” how clever and pertinent! I am so curious as to the one word “square.” What made you choose that shape in this context?
I was thinking of starting at square one…as well as the square on many game boards that actually says the word “START.” Sometimes in life I wish we had one o’ those. 😉
I like the image of stars in the mix of the other fun things.
Loved the visual of ink followed by the “craziest spill of time.” Nice one!
This poem just made me smile. All the images built up to conjure one happy thought.
Magic stuff, especially “some small spin of silence.” Very nice, De.
Oh De……this has your signature running all through it. So much to love. It tumbles like a waterfall. I love it.
The hyphenations and word-breaks have an almost breathlessness, a delight in what is being anticipated.
Wonderfully fun! I like the ‘mirth of mind’. I once saw a murmuration of starlings flying low over our house. It was crazy and awesome, there were so many of them. I can imagine those birds looking down at us and laughing, because we are entranced by their very normal activities. 🙂
Such beautiful, clever word-use. The line that stood out for me was: “twinkle in
some small
spin of silence.”
