So De Jackson, aka WhimsyGizmo, brought the latest “Quadrille” idea to us at dVerse Poets, that dVerse invention 44 word poem that asks just that you include a particular word.
This time around from De? That word was “Jar”.
.
The Miscellaneous Jar
I tapped the lid with a butter knife in evenly spaced indents
hoping this intent would somehow suffice
but still couldn’t unscrew the top of my head
and my thoughts remained bent
instead
like miscellaneous nuts and bolts in a jar on a workbench
