Quadrille #60 Summer's Prize





































Summer's Prize

Sheep laze in shadows 
of elms.
July's butterflies 
sailing high on Jcasmine winds.

By the sea I find my niche.
Andalusian skies 
meet pregnant,
billowy,  white clouds.

White sand beyween my toes,
nd wine,
paper and pen.
I lust berries from the vine,




absorb the view, and 
to satisfy my creative itch.


dversepoets  Using the word 'itch'..

    I like the thought of writing on the beach or near a lake.

    I had trouble reading your quadrille, Kathy, as the font is so small and the colour means it blends into the background. I managed to highlight, copy and paste it into the comment box and I'm glad I did. I love the lines:
    'July's butterflies
    ride a sweet lavender wind'
    and
    'By the lake I find my niche,
    on a blanket,
    to satisfy the creative itch'.
    I now have a peaceful image to carry around for the rest of the day. :)

    We all were taken with the /lavender wind/ for sure. Are you near a lavender farm ? This sweet tribute to summer is an exquisite use of the quadrille.

      Thank you. There are several small ones up this way, and the one big annual Lavender Festival in Sequim.

    Just love this, Kathy--and that creative itch is (almost) the only one I welcome. And to write in nature. Who could ask for more.
