Today, I’m hosting at dVerse Poets’ Pub for Monday Quadrille #16. A Quadrille is a poem of exactly 44 words, no more, no less, exclusive of the title. I’m asking you to use any form of the word OPEN within the poem itself. Here’s mine:

hibiscus
in awe-tinged silence
i watch petals unfurl
opening upon beauty
cached within—
softness charged with
life-giving energy.
sun glows
through flower-skin,
brings to mind
moments we shared
in the desert,
garden-joy i cherish.
would that i could
unlock memories
hidden within
your beautiful soul.
Please join us at 3:00 PM, EDT.
