this poem may be habit-forming,
causing the need to read others,
wrestle pen. it’s a gateway
scribble, really, that first taste
of rhythm-rhyming zen you
didn’t know you needed. to
breathe. a smudge of sky. a wisp
of why. the resounding crack of dawn.
..It’s Quadrille Monday over at dVerse. I’m hosting. Come play.

I do love a wisp of why… isn’t that the essence of every poem.? dawn is its beating heart
I totally agree with Bjorn. The why of poems…makes their hearts beat and their ears listen for more.
‘That first taste of rhythm -rhyming zen’- Love it!
I like the playful nature of your habit-forming substance.
You had me at /it’s a gateway scribble/–for poetry can be a drug leading to the reading of literature and world history. Of course, /the wisp of why/ is another hook.
Like Glenn, “gateway scribble” grabbed me and pulled me right on through. Rhythm rhyming zen indeed! Great piece De!
Hah! Brilliant and perfect.
that first taste
of rhythm-rhyming zen you
didn’t know you needed. to
breathe.
Yes this is definitely poetry….!!
Ah yes, a luring quadrille!
Happy Monday. Thanks for dropping by to read mine.
Much✏love
Addictive in the best way, the beauty of your words.Thanks for the fix!
I love the play of words in this piece. Well done.
I so love this part: breathe. a smudge of sky. a wisp
of why. the resounding crack of dawn. This is a beauty De.
I am constantly looking for that “rhythm-rhyming zen” – well done!
Nice sound in this phrase: “a smudge of sky. a wisp
of why”
a smudge of sky. a wisp
of why. the resounding crack of dawn.
sigh. and I sigh. so tenderly woven, De.
Oh, that’s great! So much to appreciate here. You have such a playful way with words.
I love your playfully addictive quadrille, De! I love the idea of a ‘gateway scribble’, the ‘taste of rhythm-rhyming zen’ and oh, the ‘wisp of why’!
Oh, this is wonderful. It had me smiling and agreeing. “gateway scribble” and “wisp of why”–just wonderful.
Wonderful imagery that warms my poet heart, habit forming indeed and gladly so.
I will well remember the phrase “the wisp of why”. Great write!
Too late! I’m already addicted!
Many poems are habit forming. That is why we cannot stop at writing just one.
Cute poem … dVerse is indeed habit forming, timely warning 🙂
Ha! Yes. Exactly. Thank you.
