Rules to Love - #lovemeloudly #dVerse #quadrille #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #writer #writingcommunity @YvetteMCalleiro

Hello, beautiful readers! Today, I'm participating in dVerse's Quadrille #216 - Can You Take a Hint? Mish invites us to write a quadrille using the word hint in our poem. A quadrille is a poem of exactly 44 words, not including the title.

Rules to Love


love me loudly

or not at all

shower me with affection

wrap me in your warmth

smother me with your sensual kisses

shout from the hilltops

your undying admiration

cover me in colorful caresses

waste not my time with whispers or hints

love loudly!
