Mish is tending bar tonight for our quadrille#30 prompt at dVerse. Here is what she has to offer.
The weather in my part of the woods has been very unpredictable. Winter coats one day, summer shorts the next. Welcome to my world of sun, rain and snow served with a side of drizzle.
I will share a bit of that with you today, giving you the word drizzle.
Use it as a noun, verb or be creative and get drizzly. Dabble in words about the weather, share a drizzle of your emotions or give us your best recipe drizzled in lemon icing or olive oil. The mood can be a drizzling of darkness or light. It’s up to you! Just remember your quadrille should be exactly 44 words in total not including the title and must include the word drizzle or a derivative of the word.
solitude’s silent sounding
lends quiet ears to proceedings
a gentle breeze rocks my being
into a still quiet form
as thoughts of life and of love
percolate like drizzle into the ocean
of us
rippling tiny waves of bliss
to guide this boat home
Percolating thoughts – what a cool image! You are a must-read, Paul. Thanks for sharing!
So sweet of you to say so Jilly. Thank You.
I always find words to treasure here, Paul. So lovely.
Such a lovely thing to hear Bev. Thank You.
From the very beginning, the lovely alliteration of the first line began the lull. This was mesmerizing.
Thank You Mish. Writing for the napowrimo 30 in 30 and other prompts on top of that has so far moved me into a ‘zone’. All I seem to be doing is reading and writing.
Using “waves of bliss” must be the best way to get a boat home.
I like to think so Frank. Thanks for dropping by.
I’m partial to solitude’s silent sounding. I’ve been there. An absence of sound that’s deafening. Good stuff!
That’s the stuff. Generally not on offer in middle school but probably is in middle earth 😉
Force of hobbit? Sorry….
looks for the groan emoticon 😉
I like this a lot. Well done.
There is music in your method and emotion in the mist. The drizzle’s full of notes and the song is love. Well done.
I like that boat going home to bliss and love ~
“percolate like drizzle” … Nice.
I love the opening three lines, especially.
That’s lovely..solitude can be healing..so often.
Always for me. Thanks for visiting.
a gentle breeze rocks my being, sometimes the boat has to rock before it becomes steady and finds its way home.
i like a little rocking now and then…soothing. Thanks for dropping by.
I love messing about on boats and your quadrille evokes memories of sunny days on the Broads, especially:
‘a gentle breeze rocks my being
into a still quiet form’.
I also love:
‘thoughts of life and of love
percolate like drizzle into the ocean’.
Thanks for floating my boat, Paul!
You’re welcome Kim.
Blissful 🙂
this was romantic but also so gentle in its suggestion of a life shared and cherished.
I love that drizzle percolating the ocean. So apparently insignificant, and yet flavouring everything. Lovely.
Soothing and romantic! I like it. 🙂
This makes me feel sweetly soothed. (And I like the reminders of being on a boat.)
Sailing home in an ocean of us as an evolving journey of blissful ripples is so loving. ❤
Feels like I’m reading the gentle ocean currents. Lovely.
