maybe by friday
i’ll have the
tenacity
(audacity)
to get over you.
maybe by friday
i’ll feel like
burning your brown Henley,
forgetting your smile.
maybe by friday
my heart will mend.
maybe by friday
i’ll find breath again.
but today is only tuesday.

It’s Quadrille Monday, and I’m hosting. Come play! (And double-dip, if you please!)

This is excellent! Very well written.
Thanks so much!
You nailed it. Your Q’s are stellar–and your titles are little bits of genius in themselves.
Awww. Thank you, Jennifer.
Good Fridays always seem so far away, don’t they, DJ? Great work &THANKS for the cool prompt.
Thanks so much, Ron. And my pleasure.
Well done, De. I hear you.
Thank you, Lisa.
You’re welcome.
Great write, sometimes it takes a week…others weeks. As long as you breathe!
Thank you!
Ha; luv the end twist!!!
much🤍love
Thanks, Gillena.
I wonder if this is a reason for Friday to come faster… but do not burn the Henley that late.
Ha! Thanks, Bjorn.
Another stunning Q! Nobody writes them like you, De.
Thanks so much, paean.
I love the poignant play on words, especially in the title, De, and the ending is so good!
Thank you, Kim!
My pleasure, De!
Your word play and puns are my weakness every week 😉
You’re the sweetest, Kir. Thank you.
Oh dear … a long way to go I fear! I love the poem, the rhythm and the way you enclosed audacity! Thanks for a great challenge.
A poignant quadrille, De. Love it.
ha who knows what Friday will bring. Hopefully, the heart will mend but, on Tuesday it doesn’t seem likely.
clever and I can relate,
ouch! I hear you, sob-sister! some weak tea is required, or a strong whisky if that’s more your sling…
masterly encapsulation of grieving grievances x
Very effective poem, the repetition leads us along to the less optimistic end. You’ve a long week ahead!
