I think it might be poor vision

Thinking of his last decision

To war or not to war

That is the question

“Teach them, teach them all”

His words of wisdom

“I have the power

They have the need

So send the troops

With hastened speed

I need oil and money too

I’ll sacrifice many, including you!”

His speech a warning we must heed

He’s not the only one with wartime seeds.

Writing Prompts

“I spilled Spot Remover on my dog and now he’s gone!” Stephen Wright

(6). I’m so upset this morning that any fight I had was so long ago I can’t remember it. To me the fight now is with congress that will not step up and declare this president insane, unfit to govern. I don’t care what or any political party you’re in, you have to see that in the last few days, and future days, he could get us into a nuclear world war. He’s already stirred up troubles all over the world. Sounds impossible? Has he followed any of our sacred documents set up by the founding fathers – The Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights? Our military and their families are suffering because of his acting out childish tantrums. I am angry and ready to fight this lunatic!

Julie thought her new boyfriend’s words were hollow. She couldn’t get the image of her other lover, and nostalgia overtook her. She let a smile form on her lips, a blush on her cheeks, as she remembered the gift, the present he gave her on their anniversary. He had produced a gold tray with a thick foil wrapped sash that was e

mbroidered with his first words of love.

Share Your World : 6th April 2026

Today, I’ve got a bone to pick with you. Not of contention, but of expression. Of attention to poetic detail. Today, I want you to use some form of the word bone in your poem. 

Still stuck? The human body’s got 206 of ’em. Pick one and get writin’. (The wrist bone’s connected to the poem bone…) 

New to the Q? Here’s the bones of it: 
Pen us a poem of precisely 44 words (not counting the title), including some form of the word bone. Post your poem on your own blog, and link up with us using the Mr. Linky below. Then spend some time making your way around the interwebs, as you read and comment on the amazing work of your fellow poets. The Quadrille is here all week, so be sure to come back and read (and write) some more!

Frozen to the bone, she said
Tried to hear, clear my head
Looked around so helplessly
Not a stick of wood did I see
I only had this book of mine
A diary when I was in decline
Now it too, will suffer dying.

And of course, the classic:

The Numbers Game #119. Come Play Along!!

The actor could not fix the drape

A custom-made Dracula cape

The fabric stubbornly stayed

The way it was wrongly made

Said, “I told you to use the crepe!”
