A new Quadrille prompt at dVerse Poets this week, this one from Lillian, a 44 word poem, not counting the title, that is to include one word directed in the prompt.
Lillian’s word?
“Petal”
//////////////////////////////////////////
A Petal’s Grace
Sitting alone outside the Market
he counts people
not known
together with those gone
in slow
hurries
from one stand
one world
to another
a young girl
holding her mother’s hand
pauses and smiles him
a petal
from the rose held under her balloon

That has to have been a wonderful smile.
