Air Them Out (poem – quadrille)

Earlier this week Sanaa presented to us a new Quadrille prompt for our latest in 44 word poems. The prompts always come with a word to include in your Quadrille and here that word was “Care” with a great post from Sanaa to explain how she came about choosing it.

Now, the window to get my new one in for the link at dVerse along with the others closed yesterday but I still, eventually, had something for it so …

Air Them Out

I thought to walk with them

my cares

give them air

while I gain some from the walking

but on a leash with sniffs  

and a plastic bag

to gather what they leave

with bends

and stands

also good for air

and for heart

(Oh, on a side note, Cricket the Cat had some thoughts here too, though she didn’t “Care” to keep to the prompt …

  1. We need some more air here in the UK with the heatwave we’ve been having! Great poem and it was fun to have it breeze through my little grey cells this afternoon. Your work is always so insightful and brings a wry smile to my face with your humour. And I love the addition from Cricket, that cat always hits the mark!

  2. Thanks so much Paul, that’s really appreciated!

    But, alas, the truly insightful one I think, may just be the Cricket, once we figure out what the hell she means in “cat”.

    And, I just got done reading it a little bit ago and ya beat me here. Your new Spidey review. Your reviews are always a good measure for me as to whether I might actually hit the theatre for something and you cinched “Theatre” with that one, thanks!

    Oh, and go back to the Godzilla post by the way. I hemmed and hawed initially and then totally forgot to add a little production piece I put together of Trump explaining “dum-ocrat” with some help from the Muppets.

    Cheers Paul!

  3. That’s not an original quote. My cat typed the same thing. ;>)
