The writing prompt, featuring the picture above, is to write a quadrille poem of exactly 44 words.
[I am not taking part officially, just for my own – and perhaps your – amusement.]

Well then, it’s been a very long time since I last tried to write some form of poem. Please be kind and forgiving with regard to my amateurish, awkward attempt….

Golden Horizon

Time is on our side
as the sun sets, and rises again.
On dirt and gravel we keep driving
towards the golden, ever beckoning horizon.
Wide eyed and smiling
our days pass carefree
as we take in each moment
being embraced
by breathtaking scenery

Forever

Forever

Look here, now
two-legged friends of ours
We will teach you a thing or two
about unconditional love
On all the good days,
through the tough ones for sure
we’re joined in friendship
with respect and mutual care
Come hell or high water
a package deal we are
No one and nothing
will separate us
– ever.

Invitation Accepted [WDYS #282]

Well, someone followed nature’s call
For a leisurely walk amongst lush greenery
And to accept the invitaion for a little rest
By an aged tree, standing proud and tall
Its trunk is split, begging to be explored
Some branches, expansive and rather low
Seemingly seek a connection
With the grass covered earth below
Feel free to climb, if you can
And have a sleep, precious moments
For dreaming a little dream
With the feeling of renewal
Upon waking to warm rays of sun
Recharged and ready for the fast pace
Life demands of us these days
