Today at dVerse Poets Pub it’s quadrille Monday which means we are writing poems of exactly 44 words and today, De Jackson has offered the word “bold” to inspire and be included in the poem. “Bold” is also a great word to inspire today’s images.
Life of the Party
I want to be bold
a grand story told
if only it were so easy
along the fold
I rolled in gold
shimmering and breezy
never cold and never old
the whirl lost hold
fruit lost to mold
and I fell dizzy and queasy
Somehow this made me feel like someone on Jan. 1 after being celebrating too much on New Year’s Eve. 🙂 Fun rhymes.

Being bold is not as easy as it sounds. Well captured.

uplifting from the first line want/wish and then the let down like a deflated balloon – ahh it underscores wanting from willing!

I love your image it is so pretty! I like the rhythm of your poem. It’s easy to dizzy when you’re whirling with boldness.
