For dVerse Poets Pub where De Jackson is our host.
Today’s topic :
De Jackson here, aka WhimsyGizmo. And it is indeed time once again for my personal fave of all the prompts, the Quadrille. As most of you know, this is a little invention of our own making here at dVerse, when we pen poems of precisely 44 words, including one word we provide. Today, I want you to jumpstart your muse by infusing your poem with some form of the word jump.
Pull on your favorite jumper or jumpsuit. Settle into the jump seat. Grab your jump rope. Toss some jumping beans into the mix. Jump around. Jump for joy. We’re jumping and galumphing our way into poetry today.
Quadrille #353: Jumpstart your Poem
Leap
I stood where certainty ended,
toes curled around tomorrow.
No map.
No promise.
Only sky.
Something whispered,
jump.
So I did.
Not because fear disappeared,
but because somewhere
beneath it
my soul remembered its wings.
Sometimes faith begins
before our feet leave the
ground.
A song from the 90s and my DJ days.
