Let’s start a revolution with our quadrilles! Just be sure your 44-word poem contains some form of the word revolution.
Here’s how to Quadrille:
– Write a poem of exactly 44 words, including the word revolution.
➰➰➰
Another revolution completed around the sun
Another year has passed in my lifetime
What goal have I achieved, which remains unfulfilled
Looking back I feels as if nothing
Of much importance has happened
Perhaps this year will be different
Perhaps this year will matter
➰➰➰
Word count; 44
In response to dVerse Quadrille # 174- Revolution, hosted by Kim this week

#dVerse
A lot has happened, many triumphs encountered and courage well spent on what or those that matter. Sometimes, great things are so seemingly small that their importance in the grand scheme of things…but progress still.the same.

Very very true my friend. I think we judge ourselves the harshest. We should celebrate our achievements too.

Hi–you put your link in the wrong Linky, Poetics, where the prompt was window, instead of quadrille. 🙂

It is something I’ve been pondering more lately. I think for so long we have associated a full, productive day with work, goals, accomplishments and basically exhaustion. Who sets these measurements of life? Maybe its just as important and meaningful to sit in nature, read a good book, write a poem , hug a friend.

Yes this is worth thinking about. We need to set goal that ensure both a good worldly life and a emotionally satisfying one too.

I like the repetition Pankaj and the reminder that another year on this planet is a goal achieved, even if nothing much has happened, as it means we get another chance.

It’s natural to reflect on the past year and contemplate what goals have been achieved and which ones are still unfulfilled. Here’s hoping that this year brings you the fulfillment and accomplishment you desire. 😊

All years, some slower than others are good years especially if you are able to learn something from them. Just because we age out or semi, or fully retire only means we can take our time to look at what is around us. 364 days of the year are un-birthdays or 365 days a year are a new birth day for our world. 🙂

I believe every year there are little things we do that don’t seem important to us, but to someone we have left an impact in there life, year, day… your years do matter whether you can see it or not.
