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'..

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

  3. 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. :)

  6. 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.

  10. 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.
