Itch! Entire world gone mad? Baby boy today, tomorrow it might be a girl! Black is white; white black.
“There shall be a time when they will not endure sound doctrine; according to their desires, they will heap themselves, teachers, having itching ears:” [2 Timothy 4:3]
Scratch that Itch … A world gone mad
I would love to make a comment but I do not see your quadrille.

I love to read the poems from prompts as they are all different. I liked the quote from Timothy but….there was no 44 word quadrille, alas

Oh I get it, I think! The quote from Timothy should not be part of the Quadrille, IS that it?
Thanks in advance!

You are only one word shy, unless you count “Timothy.” Which I did. But then, I tend to err on the side of grace — you know, just in case One is looking on.
I also don’t sweat the small stuff. Nice write.

🙂 I am striving to learn the habit of smiling, nodding, and moving on without comment. It’s not taking yet.

Desires lead to an itching that may never be resolved.

I agree the world has gone mad ~ Thanks for joining us at dVerse and learning our writing challenge – Quadrille, for today.
For this poetry prompt, 44 words is the only challenge with a given word, which for this case is, itch ~ I normally use the wordcounter for this writing challenge: https://wordcounter.net/
I hope you visit and also read the poem of others – its part of our community spirit.

So nice to have a newcomer at dVerse! Glad you found us 🙂 We are a global community of folks who enjoy writing and reading and learning too! We post prompts on Mondays (quadrille one Monday; Haibun the next); Tuesdays (called Poetics Tuesday — some varied and interesting prompts on these days); and Thursdays (alternate between an “open link” when you can post 1 poem of your choosing; and a day when a particular form is explored). I’ve been with dVerse for probably about 3 years and I never stop learning. So come back often! Write and be sure to read and comment too! 🙂
