#Quadrille: Untamed
She wept with a fiery fervency
in a futile quest to suppress
searing flames of her heart’s desires.
Alas, to great sorrowful shame
they grew ever higher
ever brighter
as passion in her soul shook
with untamed animal urgency.

POETS CORNER
Charmed Chaos 
Linda, this is urgent, and beautiful. Can you throw some form of the word “fire” in there for me, to make it a Quadrille? Fiery, fired, firing…any form will do. Could be as easy as changing the first line to “fiery fervency.” I like the way it burns now, but needs “fire” to be the Q form.

Yes it does. And wasn’t that wild? I remembered the song, but not the artist. I would have never gotten it. One hit wonder I guess.
