De Jackson (aka WhimsyGizmo) over at dVerse Poets Pub gave us a prompt today to write a quadrille (44-word poem) using the word “pinch”. All I could conjure for my quadrille was whimsy, but it was fun.

Lots of fun wordplay!
Thank you!
Ha ha ha. This IS fun. 😆
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Love it… so much fun to be done with those words.
Thank you! They were lying around and I just picked them up and played with them like a puzzle. 😁
Kim,
Your exploration into homonyms, homophones, and homographs has such a clever and playful tone. This is really good!

Gosh, David, thank you for the compliment!
Delightful word play, Kim
thank you, Jan!
Thank you so much, Jan.
This is great fun – I especially like the last verse!
Thank you! I took that picture of the horse on my Tuscany honeymoon in 2008, feeling like it would come in handy someday. The Hoarse Horse of Remorse, shall we call it? 😁
If a crab can grab your abs.😱
Clever and fun! I enjoyed this
Made me laugh!
Thank you! We are laughing together.
You’re welcome! 😀
Loved the photos, loved the Q, Kim, and your playful juggling of words! Nicely done.
Thank you! I like thinking of myself as a ‘word juggler’.
So much word-whimsy here! Love the way you’ve played!
Wonderfully expressed in a few words! 🙂
Nice word-artistry here!
