It’s the Quadrille #21 prompt at dVerse tonight courtesy of Mish.
She says, “I would like to offer you the word “breath” or “breathe” for this week’s Q44. You can use other variations on the word, such as breathless, breathtaking, breathable or get creative with word-play. Your quadrille does not need to be about breathing. Just remember to include the required word.”

Energising and life giving, it flows in us and through us.
Anagram the air from your mouth.
Telling us silently that all is well.
Realising it is the key.
Beginning with the pure in and out of it.
Helping us see, this is it.

The anagram was a great touch
Thanks Bjorn.
Very clever! I had to work at finding the “breath” in this one. 🙂
Thanks.
Now this is cheekily clever, Paul! I like the use of ‘anagram’ and the little clue as to where to begin!
Thanks Kim. I may do a rewrite. Not sure it works as well as it could.
Aha!! Yes, very clever. 🙂
Thanks.
I liked the last part of the last line: “this is it”.
Thanks Frank.
Pure in, pure out ~ This is it – I like this Paul ~
Thank You Grace
I like this poem muchly, especially the clever anagram
Thank You very muchly.
the pure in and out of it, the breath of life
Indeed.
Love this, especially:
“Anagram the air from your mouth.”
Thanks…I did wonder if it was too obvious though?
Love this! ❤️ “Anagram the air from your mouth. Telling us silently that all is well.” Sigh.. brilliant!
Thank You Sanaa. Your comments are always so uplifting.
Took me many breaths to figure it out. 🙂
Well it’s a good job there is pretty much an infinite supply eh?
I love the anagram and ‘Telling us silently that all is well is such a comforting line :o)
Thanks. I like to think of the fact that I am breathing as a good sign 😉
☺👍

So clever, Paul. I had to look back, too. I find acrostics so fun and challenging.
The first line tells so much. Clever bit of writing
Energetic and clever! Took me a moment or two, but I see what you did. 🙂
Thanks Barry.
A brilliant way to put it!
Thank You
An apt description about breath. The anagram/ acrostic is a deft touch.
Thank You.
Clever mixed up acrostic
Clever.
Thanks. I do try 😉
