fire in the egg you never know
soul’s crucible it may bubble-up
melting my hard shell-like being
rock-like heart jump-started blood
crunching as it soul twists toward those
leaps into new territories of openness
vulnerabilities emptiness
bouncing fear wildly dancing
into oblivion coming home
This is my submission for ‘the one with all the words’ for dVerse Quadrille night
I began the series again after Quadrille #44 so I now have leap,melt,rock, crunch, bounce, hard, fire and egg to include in my Quadrille. This is 3 poems in one.

I love the three poems… you really made this work for you.. amazing.
A wonderful combination! Three in one.
It’s begging to become a cross-words game. Fun!
A brilliant combination, Paul, with the original and unusual contrast of ‘shell-like being’ and ‘rock-like heart’. I also love
‘crunching as it soul twists…’
and
‘… wildly dancing
into oblivion coming home’.
Works really well whichever way you read it. I particularly like “fire in the egg” – a very powerful image for me.
“fire in the egg” – evocative phrase!
Nice.
Love “Fire in the egg”!!! The whole/broken thing was great.
A hard working poem, 3 in 1! wow!~ Love the line: soul’s crucible!
I love a fire in the egg. Without the fire nothing can happen. Very clever with these words.
melting my hard shell-like being
rock-like heart jump-started blood
Either way you read it — and it impels you to read it both ways — it’s shines. Yet again, Paul. Yet again….
I like reading “wildly dancing into oblivion, coming home.” 🙂
Well…..somehow I must be too relaxed in Bermuda as I didn’t have the same words for “all the words” that you did. Guess these blues in the waters outside my window are too seductive and taken away my senses! So mine is way off in terms of using all the words. I claim Bermudaful scenery as my excuse! 🙂
Love the three-in-one format.
My goodness! You’ve brought so much into this wonderful piece.
