Today Victoria is giving us the prompt word for Quadrille Monday. We are to write a poem of exactly 44 words (not including the title). Our word is “shimmer”. Isn’t that a wonderful word? Come visit us at dVerse Poets Pub and read the Quadrilles for “shimmer”. Because the poems are only 44 words, it won’t take you long to read and enjoy. I am using one of my favorite Japanese season words (kigo) – Amanogawa – the Japanese word for the Milky Way – the River of Heaven. dVerse Link for Quadrille #6 http://dversepoets.com/2016/04/04/quadrille-6/
The Eternal River
The river of heaven shimmers in the night sky.
its shape seems to be asking eternal questions
or flowing to the answers.
when I look up at night,
seeking or finding –
I am the impermanence,
the one who changes.
The river flows – eternal.
