W3 Prompt #177...Quadrille



i  notice that too Fred

 and that life without music would be a mistake  

also that spring is beauty blooming with love and fragrance

the moon mountains and the sea

it is spring down under



you would love the wattle 


in my garden meine  liebe

 t
SPRING SONATA for VIOLIN....BEETHOVEN


Nietzschean humour. Nietsche advocated that one should not take life too seriously,

  1. Rall, I love how you flipped it to “spring down under” 🌿 and ended with that personal touch of wattle in your garden.

    Much love,

  2. Very nice. I like this line a lot: "life without music would be a mistake".

  3. Rall, your direct address to Nietzsche gives your quadrille an easy, conversational charm—and a definite Australian feel. I like the way the “spring down under” turn flips the northern-hemisphere prompt on its head, grounding the poem in Australian seasons while keeping it warm and immediate. I'm an Australian heading into a Scottish winter—a bit of warmth won't go astray in another month or two.

  8. Us northern hemispherers think we know everything, but the southern hemispherers keep their secrets!

    I miss the smell of wattle in spring.
