Light Makes the Bushes Pop by Maria L. Berg 2023

Sorry I was away so long. This summer is turning out to be especially busy. But let’s dive back in with a Quadrille. Today’s prompt over at dVerse Poets Pub is to write a Quadrille (a poem of exactly forty-four words) that includes the word “pop” in some way.

Anticipating the Balloon’s Pop

Anticipation fills a thin skin
like hot breath in a party balloon
As it grows and grows (slowly at first)
it pushes in every directions
Its expansion creates pressure
(growing painful pressure)
stretching, warping, weakening until—POP!
It deflates, releasing disappointment
and possibly joy
