Threads
threads tied on branches of a revered tree promise wish fulfilment the tree awaits return of seekers to untie knots In gratitude the tree awaits disentanglement to sort out good from bad It has given away non-judgementally A need to be fair unfulfilled ….. https://dversepoets.com/2021/03/22/quadrille-124/
Speed of thought
lightness of birds enables flights to far-off lands conquering skies desolate landscapes silence of nights enables sound to supercede cries sarcasm in speech imagined slights damage relationships more than lies swiftness of thought with all its might makes it superior to physical size https://dversepoets.com/2021/03/08/quadrille-swift/
Point A to Point B
just being there gives no joy of reaching destinations -Journey matters going or being taken to places I don’t want to be in… -Will matters travel does not a journey make sounds do not make songs happenings do not a story make -Choice matters https://dversepoets.com/2021/02/22/goinggoinggone-poeming/
Boxed
humans in boxes complain the box is different from what others live in… they feel uncomfortable In fresh air It’s scary, they say too much freedom… They look for a change of box not a way out maybe a way to a larger box https://dversepoets.com/2021/01/25/dverse-quadrille-119-no-way-way/
Chaotic
landing dab in the middle of chaotic states being stabbed where voice originates nobody has a clue of the grit it takes to just survive, not win or create majorities always win without debate it feels as if makers of the world died intestate https://dversepoets.com/2021/01/11/quadrille-119-dabbling-in-poetry/
Flames
shooting flames throw some light dark secrets from past tumble out - fond memories take a flight diaries hidden In book covers speak a different language than warmth of fireplace I freeze - a chill hovers neither a pull, nor a hook my once cherished inglenook https://dversepoets.com/2020/12/14/quadrille-118-in-the-inglenook/
Inglenook
untainted untouched yet not a virgin… It is a place where ideas meet form neural pathways blossom to take different shapes and mingle with my life I’m fiercely possessive I don’t share keep it away from crooks It is my Zen corner My inglenook… https://dversepoets.com/2020/12/14/quadrille-118-in-the-inglenook/
Confronted
-unspoken word imposed -unspoken refusal to fall in line -unspoken denial of what I want doled out as punishment fake expressions hollow words struggling to ring positive Yet… daggers drawn we face each other -I will abide, but by my own code not yours https://dversepoets.com/2020/11/30/dverse-quadrille-117-the-dude-abides/
Possibilities
possibility of disaster prevents action possibility of pain holds back love possibility of rain drives us to buy umbrellas, build shelters possibility of earthquakes spawns whole new branches of technology we don’t act till we have visualised results I just wonder what is spontaneity? https://dversepoets.com/2020/11/16/quadrille-116-poem-those-possibles/
