1. A rushing, frenzied, nervous Q here, but aptly so. 🙂

   • 🙂

2. Marry me….what a delightful end! I hope he/she says yes.I love the first stanza – all the postures.

   • How can (s)he ever say nay after all that shuffling of feet… 🙂

3. Oh, my. I love that last stanza so very much. “daisy-petal” as verb. Sigh. Perfection.

   • Somehow nouns as verb are so fun to do…:-)

4. Nice looking for a cue to give one hope to propose.

5. Nice verbing – daisy-petal. Very lovely, the whole thing. It’s nice to be thrown by the new use of a word as a verb. Great fun.

6. A lovely proposal.

7. I just love the hint of anxiousness in this quadrille!❤️ Such a sweet and sensuous write 🙂

   Lots of love,
   Sanaa

8. Sounds like desperation, poor guy. Sometimes it is hard to read people’s cues and just what are they thinking?!

9. How sweet. I especially like this:
   “I truth or dare before
   you leave, explode”

   • P.S. I like the hidden “Being Cute” in the title. 🙂 Ooh, and now I see a sneaky “shiv” in your first line too!

     These are my favorite lines:
     “for bat of eyelash
     for glimpse of teeth”
     … They’re best when they come together, don’t you think?

     • Ha.. and the parse of lips

     • Yeah, but “parse” is not one of my favorite words. It’s too close to “parsley.” 🙂

     • Ha.. I actually like Parsley too… goes so well with tomatoes.

     • Ew. Parsley creeps me out. 😛 But tomatoes? I’m all over those … especially with cucumbers and onions in a nice vinegar dressing.

     • With parsley that’s called tabbouleh

     • Stop trying to shove parsley down my throat, man! 😉

     • But that is a great word. Much cooler-sounding than the “p” word …

10. Such dancing around without social cues made worse by not knowing if ring-around is wanted.

11. Waiting for that que to offer love. The nervousness came across quite well.

12. shaky fingers daisy-picking. Love it!

13. I love the way you built up the anticipation, Björn, and I especially like the effects of the lines:
    ‘…for parse of lips
    for ice to break.

    I daisy-petal,
    picking hope…’

    and that final explosion of the proposal!:

14. Oh my! I really hope she or he said yes. After such a lovely poem, it sure would be disheartening.

15. She is appropriately cornered. Sometimes it needs this kind of strategy!

16. I hope your protagonist is not rejected!

17. The nervousness in your longing ‘for ice to break’ travels all the way through the quadrille and if this is in any way real I hope for a happy outcome :o)

18. Ahhh…she loves me…she loves me not….all cued at the fall of a petal…Is love so random?

19. The quick proposal would part lips in surprise…might drop a daisy too! Very sweet poetry 🙂

20. Oh lovely. Love the adventurous word-play.
