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

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?

Stephen, “sweet still scented scarves and wool socks” seems to wrap the memory so gently. I feel the intimacy of this quiet space you’ve created.
