That brings me to our quadrille word. Ice, ice, baby!
Remember your quadrille must be exactly 44 words, not counting the title and must include ice or a form of the word.
DARK ICE
Most treacherous slopes brandish dark ice
When naivete opens a door
There’s peril in just being nice
Most treacherous slopes brandish dark ice
Heed this scarred warrior’s advice
Learn from my tragic ‘before’
Most treacherous slopes brandish dark ice
When naivete opens a door

Oh, the twisted stories to come.
Since so many other online writers have blogs dedicated to their writings, I’ve decided to jump onto the bandwagon. All posts published here will be either fiction or poetry, some new, and some previously published on various places on the Internet. Some of my works are conventional, and some are quirky. All fiction posted here, except for fan fiction, will include the letters "rose" somewhere, as a tribute to my Baba.
Ups and down everyday, let us make dailyliving normal.
Or not, depending on my mood

Well done. The repetiton works… love the metaphor.
😁 Many thanks!
You are welcome.
You made the triolet form the perfect vehicle for this striking warning, Susan. Makes you wonder what the “scarred warrior’s” backstory is.
A victim of his or her own naivete I imagine. 😁
Thank-you, Dora.
Triolet is one of my favorite poetry forms. Nicely done with this prompt.
It is one of my favorites too. Thank-you!
Fan-friggin’-tastic, Susan! ❤

What a pleasure to wake up to this comment, David! Many thanks. ❤😊
What David said!🙂
😁 You can’t imagine how ‘tickled’ I am by your comment, Nick. Thanks.
Oh that dark ice is always sneaky, catching one off guard. The repetition worked so well in this triolet, intensifying the warning. Love it.
Thank you, Mish.
I know the fear of that dark ice well since I bicycle to work…
😁 yikes!
You did a great job creating Triolet and staying within the 44 word limit. The form worked well for the theme.
It was a bit of a wrestling match. Thank-you!
Poetry in any language or in any form that can be sung is always sweet and enjoyable…
Thanks a lot…
❤ A great motto! I’ll remember that. Thanks!
Wonderful advice in triolet form. Such a good metaphor!
😊 Thanks so much.
You’re welcome!
