Causeway through the sea runs wide
With glinting water either side
Only thread between pier and castle
Parted by water's glimmering babble
In this fluttering mirror appears
Shadow of the sky austere
Silhouette of a knight riding tantivy
Her armor flashing in the sea
written for dVerse
Gorgeous! Such incredible imagery here.
ReplyDeleteLove the water's babble...
ReplyDeleteI agree, the images here are to die for !! ❤️
ReplyDeleteFabulous imagery, and wonderful usage of rhyme!
ReplyDeleteA fairy tale, a knight in the sea, riding dolphins perhaps? Very interesting tale.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think of dolphins, but I like it.
DeleteI learned a new word, "tantivy". I noticed the knight was female. I also liked your use of rhyme.
ReplyDeleteI learned a new word too - tantity and horray for the knight as a female ~ Love the gorgeous imagery of your pen ~
ReplyDeleteWater's glimmering babble--perfect description. I also need to look up tantivy. Love to learn new words.
ReplyDeleteTantivy means "at a gallop."
DeleteI really love the galloping rhythm and flow of your Quadrille, which is enhanced by the rhyme scheme. And a female knight - just wonderful!

I love the whole gorgeous image – and I particularly love 'tantivy' and the fact that the knight is 'her'.
