A place for poems and pics
Just skip it
flip it right
into the pond
let that ring, sink, I think
get lost in the muck
stuck in the ooze
skip the roses
weak psychoses
of apologies
skip town instead
go ahead
I’m through with you
so toodle- loo, buckaroo

d’Verse Quadrille is skipping along today
Quadrille #6 – Victoria has asked us to shimmer
d’Verse Poets
~~
in the darkest
night when
light is hidden
by heavy clouds
when mister moon
is absent and fancy
stars don’t shimmer
I reach out – stumble
fumble – searching for
an anchor in this sea
of blackness and
unknown monsters
and I find you
Quadrille 5 – melt
d’Verse Poets
~
he was not perfect but
I loved him
he was short
out of shape but
so am I
he had a smile that
made me smile
dreamy eyes
for only me
time has come to
say goodbye
the sun is warmer
frosty is melting
I did not sleep until
I heard the owl call
to me and the
crickets sing
a lullaby of
gentle songs
moon and stars
were my night-lights
chasing away the
phantoms that lurked
in the corners of the
night
only then did I dream

Over ar dVerse it’s a Quadrille Monday – thanks Bjorn
the band played Moonlight Serenade
and they danced cheek to cheek
across the floor
they were young and in love
once more
the rhythm of the music
swept them back to
a first date when she was
shy and he a nervous
young soldier
