On A Shelf Between … (poem)

Newest Quadrille prompt at dVerse Poets from Lillian, dVerse’s 44 word invention just, with each prompt, to include one particular word.

This time around? The word sunrise.

On A Shelf Between …

They live inside,

worn flowers between pages

of a red velvet picture book

with prettied painting of a sunrise

in a box

between

letters and monuments

on a shelf

between

sweet still scented scarves and wool socks

behind that hat you wore so well

  1. thid Quadrille is so – fragrant somehow, like the brittle rose petals (crimson of course) and the pages of an old scrapbook. Nostalgic and touching. I wonder about the sunrise; did it give rise to you?
