Quadrille Monday – #216
where today’s prompt word
is “hint”. Here is my quadrille.
The sun through my
kitchen window
was beaming like a
supernova.
There was no wind,
not even the
slightest breeze.
I thought I might
go blind but I
could not
look away.
On this frigid
January day
I saw a fleeting
hint of
summer.

There’s something nice about a bright sunny day even if it’s winter out. I always say, it can’t be cold if the sun’s shining. 🙂

I love your poem Nancy and wow that Manfred Man took me back. I am dancing around with my best friend Anne 1973 Married two years new born in arms….she was still unattached…. No shoes could only afford one pair….living in the back of beyond in Devon…. Missing London and my friends… I can see us now 💜💜

That light, shining through a winter window, the cat curled up but moving from sunspot to sunspot as the day grows long. Such a happy thought!

A very nice quadrille Nancy. It brought back memories of my youth as a crossing guard, weird huh. And love the video choice.
