The latest Quadrille prompt at dVerse Poets comes from Kim, the Quadrille being the 44 word dVerse specialty with a word to include.
The word this prompt?
“Rumpus”
(yes, I still look up and dream)
//////////////////////////////////////////
Oh, to the Stars …
They spark blinkled star sprinkled
dust
down
tinkled tickled
keys
in silent
song
.
those sparks
to wrinkled gaze
those notes
in twinkled ears
still
after all these years
.
such a racket
such a rumpus
Oh, if only to hear
once
can you join us?

Just spent an hour outside looking up at the stars and came in to find this
Excellent! A surprise placement for rumpus.
Now write something about a rump roast.

This is a very twinkly quadrille, Stephen, and I love all the internal and end rhymes, and the way the gentle twinkling becomes a racket and a rumpus.

I really like the way your lines shimmer, Stephen. ✨ “They spark blinkled star sprinkled / dust” feels so playful yet wistful to me, and that closing invitation makes the whole piece echo like a song drifting into silence.
