Created for the Sunday Muse, and for the Monday dVerse quadrille where Lillian asks us to consider the homograph “wound”, which we may opt to use once or twice in our 44 word quadrille. Submitted May 17, 2021.
queen of bad choices
mistress of pain
wound tightly
tried by fire
formed in ice
wounds hidden
scars forbidden
buried past
free at last
new approach
strength renewed
fist raised
victory signal
second chance
fierce resolve
peace at last
music heard
time to dance
I'm glad she can get past those wounds and dance!
ReplyDelete"tried by fire

Seems like her first relationship was doomed....but she came out strong...fist raised, fierce resolve, ready to dance! Sometimes people have to live through a tough time and decide to come out on the other side. This is a strong poem in a strong voice!
Bev, this was incredibly enjoyable for me. Thank you for this, seriously.
ReplyDeleteYours,
David
Nicely done Beverly. Bad choices will get us wound up really tight!
ReplyDeleteYour post did not show up on d'Vere when I clicked on it. You might want to check. I had to go through your home page.
Oh GOOD! You reposted. I took down the wrong one (actually the right one)! DOOFUS! Glad you reposted. I'll take down the right wrong one now :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lillian. Blogger has made changes that are maddening, and in correcting the problem I, too, had deleted the wrong one which led to the problem to begin with! I work with 5 blogs and switching from one to the other has become a trial in patience!
DeleteShe has worjed through the struggle. Lets dance with her
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by to read mine Bev
Much💚love
Ah, she's made the wrong moves but she still has the right moves. Enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteYour quadrille fits the image perfectly .... great job, Bev.
ReplyDeleteDance away - you deserve it. Second chances are great!
ReplyDeleteI like this. :D
ReplyDeleteI'm glad she her way through the hardship and is now liberated. Great poem of grace leading to liberation.

ReplyDeleteHooray! To come through all of these trials dancing is a true victory :-)
ReplyDeleteYes time to dance indeed! Love the journey of life you have poetically captured here Bev!!

ReplyDeleteOoh this is feisty! I love the idea of second chances. They are rare so better to avail them. 💝💝

A great deal of power here. Love the limitations of the lines. The language is hard, rough, with edges, but made powerful by its brevity.
ReplyDeleteI love the brief way this was written. Made it more powerful.
