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 🙂

We hold a breathless love for grand daughter, Lydia Grace.
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’ !

Inspired by photography of Brooke Shaden at: http://brookeshaden.com/gallery/
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.
