My quadrille for the d’Verse challenge, in which the prompt word is WRAP.
https://dversepoets.com/2022/07/25/quadrille-155/
Wrap me in sultry palms swaying
I’ll wear hibiscus lei…nothing more
You’ll be salt-tang breeze
Coming off waves, scent
Echoing sun on sand, heat
Of Somewhere-Fire’s embers
Imagined…
Wrap me in dream that doesn’t end
With your refusal to open door
To me—

Thank you Jane! Maybe it’s a glitch–I’ll have a look, though I’m not tech-savvy.

No, it’s not you, it’s me. WP won’t let me ‘like’ most blog posts and I have to log in each time to comment. I’m as full of glitches as a dog with fleas!
