Whimzygizmo’s prompt for today’s Quadrille (a poem of exactly 44 words) at dVerse Poets Pub is “Friday.” For an extra challenge, I used my new The Artist Magnetic Poetry Kit (assoc link). I added the word Friday with part of a label sticker on one of the magnets. It was a very different Quadrille experience. Forty-four words is a lot when you’ve only got two hundred to choose from and you’re searching through them. Here’s what I came up with:

I love the style, just like a ransom note or demand note, dramatic.

A clever combination of prompt and magnetic poetry kit, Maria! I love the alliterative phrases ‘wildly writing’ and miasma of movement’ and the line: ‘how is this surreal mess music’.

Miasma of movement sounds like a very toxic dance.

The Oracle did right by you with this one.
“my imagination in electric color
a miasma of movement composing
drunk nude passions to dazzle”

Oh, I LOVE this. I may have to get my favorite magnetic poetry site back in the mix! Wonderful!
This last line is SO good:
“how is this surreal mess music?”
A good life question, really. Cuz it’s both. 😉
