says, “look at me!”

brrrr, whirr, whee

“see, i can go fast”

bing, bang, blast

climbs on a chair

jumps in the air

rolls on the ground

with grunting sound

(gramma thinks may

be naptime soon?)

vvvrrrooommm!

nuclear fallout

 

it’s good to create

energy in a marriage

a bit of spark adds

excitement to any

couple’s relationship

but negative energy

will backfire on itself;

wound like   [bam]

agitated boomerang

or spring   [zing]

like wristwatch too

tightly wound, no

longer

synchronized

in time

 

together.

 


Lillian challenges us to write a quadrille (44 words) using both pronunciations/meanings of “wound”.  Join us at dVerse poets pub  🙂

This little blond girl keeps us hoppin’

her energy level’s non-stoppin’

chasin’ the dog

or playin’ leapfrog

the outdoors begs us to go rompin’ !

shiny power from

imagination’s station

bursts into dusty room

of beautifully tired mind;

ideas full-throttle steaming,

bells clang, lantern gleaming,

an archetypical locomotive

that sweeps any confusion

off flexing steel rails onto

sooty hardwood flooring;

while graceful barefoot

thoughts pose, entranced

by marvelous miniature

revelation which may

inspire fresh energy

for creativity; black

and white contrast

needs fleshing out,

expressed in muscular

tones of new dance steps,

art’s arabesque.
