in quadrille Tags: chalk, dad, fish, memories, year
my father
has been gone
exactly a year today
and the memories of
his dying taste like chalk
on a parched tongue…
but the memories of his living
smell like mountain trout,
burnt cream puffs, chlorine
of pool where he saved me
from drowning.

A quadrille of forty-four words linked to dVerse poets.

CDHK’s weekend meditation to create “fusion ku” from 2 haiku and then write a “troiku” series, using lines of your fusion haiku. (Free image from pixabay.)
a new year
rising from wild seas
a few stars
filling
the glass with candlelight
champagne

raise glass to new year
candlelight and stars twinkle
above champagne seas
raise glass to new year
share toast and kiss at midnight
uncork thankfulness
candlelight and stars twinkle
hold out brave hopes for future
in uncertain darkness
above champagne seas,
wild waves roll with bubbly foam
high tide is rising
