Quadrille: Flicker

by | Jul 18, 2017 | Poetry | 18 comments

Grace is hosting Quadrille Monday this time at dVerse,  And it is the 6th anniversary of dVerse! Congratulations to all the hosts. Their efforts are truly appreciated.

We’re on Week #36  and the prompt word is “flicker.” Paul suggested to deepen the challenge by including all the words prompted in 36 weeks. Past words in this series were pepper, dance, bubble, grin, lull, melt, shimmer, twist, skip, green, breeze, spill, rose, journey, jar, leaves, open, shadow, cloud, spark, cue, breath, scar, curl, whisper, dawn, ghost, giggle, drizzle, still, echo, sound, storm, spring, balloon and flicker for this week.

I found it interesting so decided to give it a shot. Here’s the quadrille I came up with including all the 36 words!

 

night forest

 

shadows dance

sound melts

echoes

green leaves whisper

curl, twist

tease still roses

giggle

scarred ghosts grin

clouds swell as balloon

open bubble

drizzle

heart skips

breathes like breeze

pepper jar spills

hope flickers

journey sparks a cue

dawn lulls the storm

spring shimmers

      Dawn certainly lulls the storms inside and outside. Isn’t it? Thanks for your comment Frank!

    Whoa, you did a good job with this! I’m afraid to even begin to try it. It is so smooth and makes sense.

    You’ve done an amazing job linking the words. They seem to flow so perfectly as though they were meant to be. Tease still roses…wow!
