Irreparable
Maintaining composure You cannot see what is really going on inside of me You see ambivalence no care to give I’m a broken vessel from the life I live The dark side called Unable to fix This soulless specimen got lost in the mix Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing © De Jackson is hosting Monday Quadrille at D'Verse Poets and prompted us with "Fix" A Quadrille is a poem of exactly 44 words excluding the title. Word Prompts Call - RDP Ambivalent - FOWC
This is so cleverly composed, Christine! Not only have you kept to the rules, you’ve delivered a meaningful message which has such resonance with so many people 🙂
Thanks Chris. You are so sweet 🥰
My pleasure, Christine!
A difficult situation to be in. Hope the help and compassion are there to steer us back to healing.
Thank you Grace.
May what’s broken be made whole again.
Yes Frank! 🙂
What’s broken inside might not show…. but it’s very hard to fix.
Some people never heal.
You do this emotion so well, Christine. ❤️
Thanks Punam! 🙂💕
You are welcome. 🙂
Yes, everybody’s got an invisible storm. Only kindness matters.
Yes, if you can be anything in this life, be kind ☺️
Thanks dear Sadje 💕🙂
This is good Christine
I feel despair in this beautifully composed poem.
Thanks Helen. We have all been there at some point in our lives 💕
Beautiful. I am not really familiar with a quadrille but I’d say you did it well B-)
Thanks Jay. It’s all about keeping with the boundaries of 44 words total 🙂
Reminds me of something else I just learned, the “American Sentence.”
Ah yes, Allen Ginsburg and The American Sentence!
I really like the challenge of Haiku, to write something meaningful in a minimum amount of syllables. I enjoy the challenge of it. Other times I can ramble on and on! 🤣
Hahaha I noticed you like it 😉 I like your longer ones too, tho. Gives you a chance to really say more
Thank you! The Daily Haiku keeps me focused but I do enjoy longer poems 👍
Yes focus is important in the long run for blogging. . .
Very good
Thanks so much Di. I appreciate it 🙂💕
