‘What do you see’ Prompt #138
For Sadje’s weekly #WDYS prompt, she offered the photo below as inspiration for writers to produce art.
d’Verse Quadrille #154
The above poem is my take on d’Verse’s Quadrille challenge.
The Quadrille is simply a poem of 44 words (excluding the title), and it can take any form. This week’s challenge was to use the word “spell” in a Quadrille (and, technically, I failed to do so).
Let’s write poetry together!

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
–Ben Harper (b. 1969)

Love your play verse, David, 🙂
Some excellent verses in all forms give me pause to meditate, but my favorite verses always make me smile..
You may know that Robert Aiken wrote (on bopsecrets.org/gateway/passages/basho-frog.htm) that “haiku” means “play verse” (a contracted combination of those two Japanese root words)
Of the 31 poets’ English translations of Basho’s “Frog” haiku on that page, my favorite, you shouldn’t be surprised to learn, has three syllables. 🙂
