Quadrille #128 I love me a fireside inglenook. It seems to cast a spell and I’m soon lost in fantasy. I hope you’ll forgive me for some tongue-in-cheek fun.

******************
I’m settled
In Inglenook
toasted feet
absorbing book
wine sweet
flames flickering
sleep o'ertakes
soon dreaming
fantasies ensue
sensuous scheming
strong arms
hot lips
feeling music
swivel hips
seeing myself
Scheherazade
mesmerizing
Greek god
he's enamored
I can tell
I've never
danced so well
(PHONE RINGS)
Can't say more
stopped cold at forty-four
No complaints here, Beverly; Only enjoyment and admiration.
ReplyDeleteOMG! How wonderful is this?? To the moon and back as we have said so many times in our wonderfully long lives.
ReplyDeleteI am swooning. This is wonderful and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThese lines, perfection:
"seeing myself
Scheherazade
mesmerizing
Greek god
he's enamored
I can tell
I've never
danced so well"
LOL

Much 💗love
That is quite the setting to get lost in a dream. A warm fire, a glass of wine and a tantalizing book to escape into.
ReplyDeleteha ha! I love how the brakes screeched with the call. A very fun quadrille, Beverly.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I love how you wrapped this up just as things were getting steamy! Nice passionate write by the inglenook.
ReplyDeleteThat is the most welcoming scene, Bev: ‘settled / In Inglenook / toasted feet / absorbing book’. It’s so easy to drop off by flickering flames, but such a shame when dreams are interrupted and we hit earth at 44 words!.
ReplyDeleteThis is so wonderful Bev! Your words come to life.
ReplyDeleteI love your clever method of concluding your quadrille. Well done.
ReplyDeleteOh my, those inglenook dreams...must have been the chardonnay!
ReplyDeleteFoiled by the phone! What an enchanting read! ✨
ReplyDeleteDamn that phone... but dreams can be devious... maybe something would have changed for the worse.
ReplyDeleteI love this. Those fantasies!!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this!!💝💝
