Letting go

















dVerse
\

At dversepoets.com  today we are writing for Quadrille Monday, a quadrille of 44 words, one of which is balloon or something about a balloon.





So happy was I,
balloon tied to my wrist;
delighted smiles put to my lips
April love's delighted
my heart strings
Releasing them now,
periwinkle and white,
in memory
of his chivalry
Knot in throat, teary-eyed,
float up to patchouli heaven,
out of sight

    Yes a heaven like this must be divine to send a balloon to.

    Releasing those heartstrings in a balloon--no going back from there.

    I might just be weird, but I love when a poet uses a word I have to look up. I didn't know what patchouli meant, but now I do. Thanks. Plus I enjoyed the poem.
