falling down
like water–
to begin again,
cross over–
like water
waiting to be
crossed over,
awakening.
waiting to be
encircled,
awakening,
drowning in flowers,
encircled
in dreams,
drowning in flowers–
fix the bridge–
in dreams
we begin again–
fix the bridge
falling down
De provided the word “fix” for our quadrille prompt at dVerse.
I wanted to see if I could do a pantoum in just 44 words.
K. 
And you met your challenge 🙂 Wonderful art to go with your vibrant pantoum.

How nice when things can be fixed again which in real life may turn out to be horrors!

I think that’s true Dwight. I felt the need to work with the colors of spring for a change.

In dream we do indeed have a chance to begin again. Wonderful job with the form.

A mixed collage to match your mixed pantoum-quadrille. Kerfe! I love both, especially the way the pantoum cascades like a little waterfall. The use of the continuous verbs ‘waiting… awakening… drowning’ gives the feeling of being suspended or buoyed up until ‘drowning in flowers’ in the following stanza.

Thanks Kim. I love repeating forms, and I do think they often invoke the flow of water.
