"Today is Monday and that means it’s time for dVerse’s own creation- the Quadrille. For those of you new to dVerse, the quadrille is a 44 word poem exactly, excluding the title. The word today is Inglenook.
For those of you not familiar with the word, here is a definition:
INGLENOOK (noun,English)- A close intimate corner by a fireplace where people gather for warmth; from ingle, a hearth (Scots)"


 On the coast of California
 my  husband and I discovered
 a wonderful inn for dinner.
 Music was classical, low
 background ambiance.
 A chilly time of year, 
 we were thrilled to find 
 a lovely inglenook inside.
 Flames flickered, people
 chatted.  It was a perfect
 night.
