I came back for another Quadrille challenge! This time, it feels like diving into the abyss, a thrilling experience with every prompt. I don’t always have the time, but I love starting my Mondays with these.
This poem was written in response to the prompt at Dverse, by Mish. Written as a Quadrille, the form is set at 44 words exactly, and must include the word “tangle” or a variation of it.
Dragged into the Abyss
Dragged into the Abyss
A shadow coils,
a quiet hiss,
A tangled maze—
no way to miss.
Thoughts unwind,
a tightening snare,
A voice that calls—
was it ever there?
Shadows bend,
breath departs,
A silent scream,
Eyes so dark.
It grins—
It was you from the start.
