Today’s prompt comes from dVerse. Here are the rules for the Quadrille:
Today’s challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to write a quadrille poem. If you’re new to dVerse or the quadrille, it’s simply a poem of 44 words (excluding the title.) You MUST use the word “way” in your poem.
To say, I’d lost my way,
minimizes the dark bowels
to where I’d strayed.
All light had fled the scene,
hiding in forests deep
within the minds of fiends.
Yet, His song surfs the winds
melodies of hope, and
promises penned.
Love wins…

“Yet.” What a turn! Indeed! Wonderful response to the prompt.
Thank you so much for the wonderful prompt you gave us to work with. Sometimes a word or a touch comes out of the blue that shines hope so bright we can’t help but be changed!
You’re very welcome and agreed <3
so glad you are healing, this is powerfully written!
Thank you! It has been a progressive healing. Each day better than the next.
well done, give yourself a treat!
There are those really dark places…
your poem made me think of Psalm 23:4…
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death…”
Yes, it was exactly a time as in Psalm 23! There are those dark times, but there is always something to hope for.
“His song surfs the wind” — to find us, lift us, out into the light again. I loved the lyrical quality to this psalm of promises kept, hope proffered, as “love wins”! Glad to have read this last thing before bed. 🙏🙏
Thank you so much, Dora! His promise are what keep us going. Through good times and the dark times.
