A quadrille is a poem of 44 words, including the prompt word, or a variation of that prompt word. And the word I’ve chosen tonight is “swift”.
A city fella bought a jeep
Went to find a hill real steep
Miles from the lights and glow
Found a meadow filled with snow
A sudden pitch
A hidden ditch
The farmer found him in a drift
Them city fellas ain’t too swift.

I'm nobody! who are you? Are you nobody too, then there's a pair of us. Don't tell! they'd advertise you know. How dreary-to be somebody. How public-like a frog. To tell one's name-the livelong June, to an admiring bog. Poem by Emily Dickinson.

Just want to share some words that I read/heard somewhere which touched me in an intellectual or soulful way.

Nice. Yours is the first I’ve read to use swift when speaking of intelligence level instead of quickness or a bird. It’s been a a while since I’ve heard that phrase.
Much appreciated. I hadn’t realized how old I am until you reminded me of the outdated definition. lol 😉
laughing out loud. thank you!
Ha… yes it’s not easy… you have to have both tools and skill, not just the money and will
