Mulberry Silk

It’s Quadrille Monday over at the dVerse Poets Pub. Today our writing prompt is the word, embrace. 44 words.

I’ve wondered about it often —

How it would feel

To be wrapped in your embrace.

Decorated in Fancy Red diamonds

as rare and dazzling as you are?

Or perhaps it’s more like

a draping of Mulberry silk.

Either way,

I can

only wonder.

    Love this! The idea of embracing, the feel of it as “a draping of Mulberry silk,” is so beautiful! 💝💝

    It sounds like a lovely daydream either way. It can feel the shimmering, sensuous feel of that silk.

    Unrequited love seems the most intense. You captured that intensity.

    This is a lovely poem, a little say, but maybe hopeful. I love seeing the Mulberry silk, only knew Mulberry from Dr Seuss’ street.
