“The drops of rain make a hole in the stone, not by violence, but by oft falling.” Lucretius
Leaving Me Wondering Water loved you wet, bathing your roughened pain, revealing your inner smooth, toned, grain to my careful eyes of wander along your skin so warm holding the sun, nestled together against the tide of times, leaving me wondering how you knew to be here.

dVerse Poets – Quadrille – Smudge
“The land knows you, even when you are lost.” Robin Wall Kimmerer
As Before The wind pierced me so in beautiful ways, of which words fail in the telling; clouds painted the sky, touching your rays and I took them by the hand, knowing, as before, your joy would wash the earth and smudge my soul with gratitude.

dVerse Poets – Quadrille – Curiosity
“Contentment is the greatest form of wealth.” Acharya Nagarjuna
The Joy Of The Mellow I pass no judgement, (and yet, of course, I do) details are never important, though to be curious is never to be shamed, rather, celebrated, as points of departure from the sameness of repetitions, as for grief, while aware, I'm incuriously embracing the mellow.

dVerse Poets – Quadrille – Wound
“The wound is the place where the light enters you.” Rumi
Between The love wound wound itself around my heart sharp, like a cilice, offering exquisite devotional pain, and the more I wrestled with the feeling, the more it gripped the whole of me leaving me between the pain of regret and the joy of desire.

dVerse Poets – Quadrille – Seed
“The heart is like a garden. It can grow compassion or fear, resentment or love. What seeds will you plant there?” Jack Kornfield
Some Need Fire The magnitude of a seed is mostly only noticed in death, in dying it rises not once, but many times, some need humidity, or damp mixed with dark, some need fire to release their souls, which makes me wonder what nurtures me to grow. ©Paul Vincent Cannon
“Delicious Autumn! My very soul is wedded to it.” George Eliot
Finally Autumn finally arrived, although it was already quietly lurking in the corner of my eyes, having slept in, ignoring summer's alarm well past the expected, slowly disrobing to bare limbs and those austere, rosy tones, precursors to winter's grey wilds, and cosy, snug hibernation. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

dVerse Poets – Quadrille – Bother
“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.” Sun Tzu
Want Some Bother? The bar humming good, a well oiled crowd humoured up, but you know how it is, a slip, a nudge in innocent times, he went off, threatening all in his path until one leaned in with a steely eye, "ere', you want some bother?" ©Paul Vincent Cannon

dVerse Poets – Quadrille – In Praise of the Grape
“If we sip the wine, we find dreams coming upon us out of the night.” D.H. Lawrence
Love Ferments Usually demur, Syrah comes to flaunt and flirt in summer, her buds more rounded, tan deep, kisses full of spice, just breathe, she laughs, as we toast the sky and and all that lives in a vine filled world; like wine, I could bottle her. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

dVerse Poets – Quadrille – Knot
“…. the great difficulty is to say yes to life.” James Baldwin
To Loose The Mooring I just wanted to see what would happen, to untie the knot and slip the hawser, just to loose the mooring and see where the tide would take us, to cast off from these predictable days, life, sometimes it's in the letting go. ©Paul Vincent Cannon
At dVerse Sarah is hosting Quadrille with an invitation to write using the word or a form of the word, swift.
dVerse Poets – Quadrille – Swift
“How is it that moths speak to each other. They tell their love across the fields by scent. There is no mouth, the wrong words are impossible, either a mate is there or he is not, and if so the pair will find each other in the dark.” Barbara Kingsolver
Ever Seeking Darting, you seemed aimless, fluttering, turning, round and round across the indelicate soils of mischance in the fading western light, where once you sowed havoc in the darkened layers of life, just a humble swift moth, ever seeking her feathered light in the night. ©Paul Vincent Cannon
