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

Late Bloomin’

Some late blooming somethings here at this House on a Hill that have sort of snuck up on me, still, pictures, maybe hoping of someone offering to tell me what they are, who they is, some striking heck’a pretty blooming vibrant things, new found gold not for fight or claims to stake but for bees and cats and the slightest of breeze, and maybe even other bees in white so I can know their name(s) … each one for right introductions.
