While I laughed my best fake laugh
Instead of joining in the conversation
Nestling your hand in mine
Knowing I was only there because of you
I saw your eyes widen then flicker
Noticing the beauty across the table
Giving your best singular smile
This there such a thing a Quadrille Acrostic Poem? Well, there is now! De Jackson (aka WhimsyGizmo) at dVerse Poets requested a Quadrille (a poem with exactly 44 words) using the word “wink”. I used “winking” as the acrostic word – hope that counts!
This poem continues the theme of relationships that seems to be prominent on my blog this week. I wonder what the universe is trying to tell me?

That relationships are important to you 🙂
