I brave a song
let the notes soothe
bruised sky
even though my
drink is bitter
and dry
Let’s celebrate
the dawn
before dusk
I predict the rays will
spill and sway
sweetening my cup
in just the right way
as ice melts
away.
dVerse Poets Pub is back from summer break and we are celebrating 11 years of poetry at the pub!! Today Merril is hosting Quadrille Monday where we are asked to write a 44-word poem that includes the prompt word, “celebrate,” or some form of the word.
Tricia Sankey 
Very nice!
Thanks, friend! 💖
Tricia,
Great lines here,
“I predict the rays will
spill and sway
sweetening my cup
in just the right way”
Sunshine fills my cup every time.
Wishing you lightness.
Ali
