Quadrille square

Circus memories, created with Bing Creator (powered by Dall-E 3)


Sometimes I only scratch the surface

Knowledge always is unless it’s edgy

Energy is for me, I got a surplus

The memories I have – almost a circus

Cause their veracity gets stretchy

Heaven sending us a purpose

Yes you got it, it’s all sketchy

Jan H. Hellberg (28.11.2023)


It was my 44th birthday this week, so what could possibly be better than writing a Quadrille with 44 words.


It’s Quadrille Monday at dVerse, Mish is hosting and challenged us to sketch a poem with „sketch“ word in it. Come and join us now or another time.

„If you haven’t joined in before, our mission for this prompt is to write a poem of any style that is exactly 44 words, not including the title.“

  4. A nice touch to add the acrostic as well. I agree with Dwight. „Sketchy“ seems to stand out more, the older I get. Love the line…“Cause their veracity gets stretchy“.

  6. I like how you put this together. Albina Felski knew it and so did Leon Russell.
