A quadrille, a poem of 44 words exactly – introduced by Bjorn Rudberg at Dverse Poets.
The first 22 words, posted here, to be completed by whosoever takes up this challenge with another 22. I noticed other poets using space as punctuation and tried it – once. Whosoever takes up this challenge can punctuate as they like.
This for Jilly’s Casting Bricks to Attract Jade December Challenge.
