The bridge was built of solid arches
then one winter trolls moved in
one family under each arch
they would bail up any poor soul
with threats of nasty curses
if they didn’t pay an exacting toll
or share a few fun rhyming verses
d’Verse by Frank – The word for the quadrille today is “troll” or any variation or arrangement of it somehow in your poem.
The hard part of a quadrille is that it must have exactly 44 words (excluding title). Some people find 99-word stories difficult. A quadrille permits less than half that many words.
Delightful Kate! Your rhymes are so endearing

Oh, that face! 🙂 Makes me grin! 🙂
And your troll toll poem made me giggle! 😀 (BTW: try to say “troll toll poem” 3 times fast! 😉 ) What a fun, clever, vivid word-picture quadrille poem! 🙂
I was told that trolls
Love warm sweet rolls
I keep on hand the cinnamon kind
‘Cause I don’t want to get in a bind
Besides, I don’t have much spare time
And I’m not so good with troll-approved rhymes
😀
Okay, I’ll go now.
You’re welcome! 😉 😛
HUGS!!! 🙂
