It’s not in the history
nor is it in the yet to come
it’s not in it’s melody
nor in the shape it holds
.
This friendship
is a rare and wondrous thing
that sits right here
in the breaths
we take
and listens
whole-heartedly
.

This quadrille about friendship was written to include a line from a blogger friend’s poem…it ended up being inspired by his whole poem! Thanks Bjorn Rudberg !
Any dVerse poets who wish to use a line from one of my poems are welcome to do so, please credit me and link back to my poem- cheers!

Nice one!
I also wrote a quadrille.
Much💜love

Great! I rarely write formal poems so it’s great to be influenced by fellow poets 🙂

A little gem of a quadrille, Carys, sparked by one of Björn’s! I like the scattering of rhyme in the words ‘history / melody / whole-heartedly’.

You really caught the use of via negativa in how to describe friendship in what it isn’t… (we had that as a prompt a few years ago)

Thanks. Yes, I’m learning all sorts of new things by joining in this wonderful community of poets. Sometimes it’s easier to say what isn’t rather than what is 😉
