when sound
is honey, music
spiced
with spring
come sing, come spin
come bare your feet
come dance with me
then dusk me gently
swirl me dreams
spun in honey
spiced
in spring
come wait with me
for dawn in honey
spiced
with spring
Victoria Host the Quadrille tonight at dVerse and the word is sound. Come join the fun.

I do believe you’ve created a wonderful lilting song here! “When sound is honey, spiced with spring….” absolutely delightful words! And the photo you’ve chosen fits so well with the words. Really….can’t we get someone to set this to a lovely tune?
This does make me want to dance–barefooted in the nice green grass. Dusk me gently–so subtly sensual. Love it.
A beautiful Spring dance Björn, like an old song remembered :o)
This one is as much taste as sound. Love the textures;
This is delicous as spiced honey ~ Love the spring invitation ~
DELICIOUS.
Yes! I really like this. It so full of life and joy and the simple pleasures that make life worth living. Nicely written.
Classic form, sweet seasonal song, another winner from the other side of the pond. I may have to borrow “dusk” as a verb.
delicious sounds
Sound is honey and music spiced … sounds like the beginning of a great recipe! Beautiful write, Bjorn!
Your Quadrille reminds me of an old Elizabethan madrigal, Björn, musical and lyrical, an invitation to dance!
I love ”dawn in honey spiced with spring” .. beautifully penned❤️
“When sound is honey music” … I love that.
The honey lends a warmth and sweetness to the scene.
I do love the sounds of spring!
‘Tis sweet! Such beauty and joy in these words!
I love the play of words in this piece. Well done Bjorn. 🙂
Splendid song Bjorn. Spring brings out the best in everyone. Music sounds like wonderful honey and wine
I love your wordplay in this, Bjorn, with the “then dusk me gently” and “honey spiced in spring”…just so joyous. Love that painting too!
This has a delightful feel, I would come and dance…
Sounds too good not to join in!
So joyful, love it 🙂
I love the whirling feeling I get from this. Also, honey is a favorite!
I liked the repeated spicing with spring.
I love this. It sounds like dance, flirtation, spring.
The imagery is wonderful…spices and honey 🙂
Music spiced with spring… Perfect!
I really love your poem, but there was nowhere to comment… the story about he sinking ship and being pulled below to a non-sound world was a unique take on the prompt
What a beautiful write! I love the lyric quality.
Love the music and rhythm of this, Bjorn. It tastes as beautiful as it sounds. Wonderful 🙂
That was really great. All the movement in the language and images!
This was lovely–a honeyed song of spring indeed. (And the Waterhouse illustration is perfect.)
‘Dawn and honey’ ‘spiced with spring’ beautiful repeated lines and used well to emphasis the freedom and sweetness of this dance. Love the words ‘honey music’ together too.
“then dusk me gently”
how sweet is that. love this song! 🙂
This piece evokes joy and beauty and the magic of spring. 🙂
this is so indulgent and the image is perfect.
If only life were so sweet. ❤
then dusk me gently was so fluid, the lines made their own sound rolling off my mind
