Poem, Quadrille

On Bended Knee

Lillian, tonight’s Pub Master, is hosting Quadrille Monday
at the dVerse Poets Pub. We’re asked to create a 44-word
poem using the word “figment”. Here’s my poem.

She knelt
down on
bended
knee

Heard a
voice say
“Come to me”

It’s just a
figment,
this can’t be

A voice that
sounded
just like he

“I think
 I will count
to three

Then of his
ghost
I will be
free

One, two….”
