She tastes the new year slowly
pondering clouds on tongue
sacred slices of sky,
tabasco-tang of sun.
,
The world’s got a way
of craving falling
-stars, symphony wishes.
She swishes in a ninja star for
good measure, a babble of brook
,
a dabble of moon.
It’s Quadrille Monday over at dVerse, and I’m hosting. Come play!

Tabasco-tang of sun … what a brilliant phrase
Agreed. Love it, De!
This is absolutely fantastic, De! 😀 So much to love here especially; “sacred slices of sky/tabasco-tang of sun.” Wow! 💝💝
I love all the sensory details here–the tabasco-tang–and love that pause at the end with “a dabble of moon.” This poem is such a delight!
Very nicely done. I loved this…

How true this is as we saw play out this past week!!
I love that you put ‘dabble’ at the end – I kept on waiting for it and waiting for it – and I was almost confused until I finally got there 🙂
I loved this line, BTW:

I like the sort of fey quality of your words. Well written!
A wonderful poem, that bursts beyond the parameters of form, and propel us to fantastical landscapes And big dreams.
Exquisito, DJ I’m with the other tabasco tang lovers.

Sounds like she is painting. You’ve captured the act of creating! Or maybe demonstrated it!
Jeez you are so good at this!
“She swishes in a ninja star”
How perfect.
I read this out loud and it sounds as good as it reads. Beautiful! I want to taste that tabasco-tang of sun with a side of falling stars, please! ✨🌙✨
Ah! I love this one! Lovely images and that dabble of moon!
You are the quadrille queen, De! I love the thought of tasting the new year slowly and ‘pondering clouds on tongue’, and the internal rhyme of ‘a babble of brook, / a dabble of moon’.
LOVE this! Made me smile. MOST especially love that tobasco-tang sun!!!
I think we have icicle sun, would love some tabasco-tang with all our ice.
So much to like in your poem! The sun, the moon, the star … ahhh love it. 🙂
Enjoyed your poem.
Especially,
sacred slices of sky,
tabasco-tang of sun.
