de Jackson, (aka WhimsyGizmo) is hosting the dVerse Poets Pub tonight, and she asks us to create a Quadrille (44 words) incorporating the word stir.
when I come across
a lone cufflink,
chipped button off an old
dress shirt —
and you’ve been gone,
what?
thirty-some years now —
I still get that
sweet fluffy stir in
my tummy like
baby butterflies gone
mad.
We’ll be together soon…
on my way…
That is a long time to be apart! I love how triggers can stir deep emotion. Well done!
The sweet stir like baby butterflies gone mad is just a beautiful offering to this love letter. I love that you have been composing it for “what, thirty-some years now” and how you honor what you come across on your way. So this is love…
Thank you, Victoria. Your thoughtful comment brought a tear to my eye. I’m not sure exactly what love is, but this is my idea of it. :-)

So touching. So well captured. I guess once you’ve had that connection it’s yours to keep. No matter what.
