Is the Quadrille new to you? Here’s what to do:
No need to panic! The Quadrille is really quite simple when you boil it down: pen us a poem of exactly 44 words, not counting the title. Include some form of the word “Care.”
Post your piece on your own blog and link here using the Mr. Linky icon below. The Quadrille prompt is open all week, so feel free to stop by anytime you like. Also, please remember to read and comment on your fellow poet’s work.

The word is care
Never rare
But beware
With overshare
People say how are you
No wait for reply
Try to answer
But as if they’re a dancer
Swish you around
No listening for sound
Don’t stop their beat
Keeping on, on the street.
