Stream of Consciousness Saturday (#SoCS): Run Yonder
Yesterday morning I happened upon Sammi Cox’s Weekend Writing Prompt. This weekly writing prompt offers a word prompt and a word limit. This weekend it is “Yonder” and the word limit is 44 words which I found familiar as it is the same as the dVerse Quadrille. I thought I would give it a goContinue reading “Stream of Consciousness Saturday (#SoCS): Run Yonder”
The hummingbird is a close relative of the swift, but a swift can also be a lizard or a reel for winding thread.
Today at the dVerse Poetry Pub the Quadrille prompt is “swift.” Because I had been bird watching this morning, I thought I would give this 44 word poem a try. Then I started looking at swift’s definitions and synonyms (like I do) and found the noun definitions very interesting. The birds that are called swiftsContinue reading “The hummingbird is a close relative of the swift, but a swift can also be a lizard or a reel for winding thread.”

dVerse Poets Quadrille: Stacked Boxes
Today is Quadrille Monday over at the dVerse Poets Pub and De Jackson served up the word: box. Stacked Boxes Stacking larger boxes on small boxes A heavy head bobbles upon a lilting middle, teetering on a poor foundation Functioning intelligence, serpentine systems based on a corrupted piece of code The hypocrisy covers liesContinue reading “dVerse Poets Quadrille: Stacked Boxes”
dVerse Poets Quadrille: Puzzle

I wrote three dVerse Poet Quadrilles in the first 25 minute sprint of #MagicMon over on twitter. I am excited about this one.
