Written for: dVerse Poets – Quadrille #21 – “Take A Breath” (posted by Mish)
I would like to offer you the word “breath” or “breathe” for this week’s Q44. You can use other variations on the word, such as breathless, breathtaking, breathable or get creative with word-play. Your quadrille does not need to be about breathing. Just remember to include the required word.
Did the room spin?
No. I cannot suffer
another attack
especially after
surgery. Squeeze
my eyes shut. Breathe
in four counts, hold
for five, breathe out
for eight. Wait.
Take a peek through
finger blinds. Are
lines in floor still?
Have walls settled down?
