De Jackson , aka WhimsyGizmo is today’s host for the first Quadrille of the new year over at dVerse Poets Pub. He states:
“The Quadrille is that pithy little poem of our own creation here at dVerse, in which we write poems of exactly 44 words (not including the title), and wedge in a word of our choosing.”
If I had things my way
I would certainly never choose
I’d change it any day
To have chocolate be my muse
Because on my hips it does betray
The extra pounds bring the blues
I cannot walk away
I must learn to refuse
44 words
Ha! Oh, that it were true! The least we could do is get some writing out of it, too! I’m “hip” to your idea! 😉

I’m ready to indulge, just send your sweet morsels my way. I’ll shed the pounds another way. Cheers. Your quadrille raised a smile.

I want chocolate to be my muse. I know I’d learn to regret it when my weight started to increase. Thank you for sharing this wonderful poem.

Maybe it’s better to have a muse you have to catch running.
