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 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!”

Relay that message, Corporal!
But sir, isn’t that against the supreme leader’s instructions?
I said, relay that message, am I not clear?
But, but, it’s defying a direct order!
Okay Corporal, get me a private over here to do what I asked!
The Corporal walked begrudgingly over to the platoon.

Since my internet is down and couldn’t think of a joke with D, I guess this group is aptly named for the last few months, at least!
