A celebration of writing, reading, and creativity
Mish’s prompt for today’s Quadrille (a poem of exactly 44 words) at dVerse Poets Pub is “Blaze.” I had so much fun using magnetic poetry for this last time, I thought I’d try it again. I used the Original Edition(assoc link), but stole the word “zeal” from the Genius kit(assoc link). Here’s what I came up with:
We Blaze Between the Rain Storms

Love this, Maria. Well put together.
Thank you.
Neat poem 🙂 I especially love the title!
Thank you.
I really, really like that last line in particular, Maria <3
Sincerely,
David
So glad.
nice! Especially “doesn’t the after have juice”
Thank you. Glad you liked that.
I am not familiar with magnetic poetry but you have piqued my interest, Maria!
Glad to hear it. I’ve been enjoying it a lot.
Oh, I love the magnetic poetry! I have a set too, but never thought to use it for blogging. I like that you included eating the peach. Is that a nod to Eliot, or have I just taken too many lit classes? Either way, I really enjoyed your piece.
It was not a nod to Eliot, I just like the the idea of peach whispers, but I’m glad you thought so. 😁
What a fun acrostic, and such gorgeous language, Maria!
Thank you.
My pleasure!
Having to whisper when we want to scream… I know that feeling.
“like purple light elaborating the gorgeous.”
Thank you.
I see the “blaze” in your acrostic. Magnetic poetry can be more challenging than it looks!
“zeal like licking the sky”🌌
Nice use of the word parcels. Too bad the word “blaze” wasn’t in there. Works okay though, in the title. I have a set of those word bits given to me but I don’t know right now where they are. All will come out in the downsizing, when we haven’t decided yet.

Oh, but Jim, the word blaze is in there. Take a look along the left side. 😉 However, I can’t find the word parcels anywhere.
Must admit I missed it, too… Ha! Thanks for pointing it out to the unobservant!
