Across the garden
Your dress dances
To breeze choruses
weaving tales
In air
My heartbeat swiftens
As through breeze-flung hair
Your eyes call me
To dance
With you there
Our bodies intertwine
and my heart slows swiftly –
I ponder
the life
we could share
I wrote this poem from a prompt in dVerse, the virtual pub for poets. Today’s prompt asks the writer to write a quadrille. A quadrille is an exactly 44 word poem, sans title, which includes a keyword or a form of a keyword. The keyword for this prompt is “swift”.

Great use of swiftens. I used Swiften as my title. I like “breeze choruses.” Where I live the small breezes definitely have different noises that could be a nice chorus, until they join into a wind.

It is coming on spring soon so hopefully the breezes are plenty and the winds are few! Thank you for your kind words 🙂

Thank you! I’ll confess, I jotted down the first stanza as soon as I read the prompt and spent quite a bit of time trying to find a fitting way to turn that stanza into a poem! I’d like to think I (partially) succeeded!

You’ve used the rhythm so beautifully here. By the end I was almost dancing myself.

As lovely as a warm spring breeze. I like how the heartbeat changes with the circumstances.

Wonderful love song… I can only picture the garden since it’s still winter of sorts.
