‘The Dude abides’, a d’Verse Quadrille
Above an abyssal abime
abide abeles; and abelmosks
abound, abloom, ablush, abutted by
abandoned aboriginal abbey, absent
absconded abbots.
An ablegate abroad abreacts absorbedly;
aborted aborning abracadabras are
abomas abiding about
his abdomen.
Aboulia abidingly absterged;
abhorrent abuses absolved, ablins,
in ablutions of absinthe.
The above poem is my take on d’Verse’s Quadrille challenge #117.
The quadrille is simply a poem of 44 words (excluding the title), and it can take any form. This week’s challenge was to use the word โabideโ in a quadrille.
Wonderful poem and selection of words ! I have to run for dictionaries for every word ๐๐
I had to do some research to find all the words ๐
Amazing work ! Commendable ๐๐ค
Thank you so much! โค
Et bien bravo ! Trรจs bon aprรจs-midi, louise salmone

it was actually a lot of fun to write!
You are such a wonderful teacher. How on earth would I learn about a quadrille 117….thanks for sharing dVerse’s blog, I totally enjoyed reading. I’m a kinda abide person, the solitude and all that goes with it but I really appreciated the fun evaluation of your holiday and the days thereafter. Such fun writing makes me happy. Who would’ve thought that digital communication would become so vital since the breakout in Wuhan. Before we use to say, get off your phones, get back to reality, and now digital communication has become a major reality. Ok I’m going off the rails here. Abide with me is also an all time favourite In fact all these old hymns written in contemplative poetry, I regard as masterpieces.
I love, love what you have done with AB, you are an amazing teacher.
Dwight was the one who introduced me to dVerse, and I only discovered quadrilles in last few months here on WordPress… so I’m barely ahead of you, Abi ๐
Thank you for reading and being so kind, as always!
Oh it was a real refreshing blog. You are most welcome. Hahaha….you way ahead, but that’s fine
โค
Aaaa!

All the a’s!
and b’s! don’t forget the b’s! ๐
Well done! Love the imagery in all your verses.
Love the expression…[ aborted aborning
abracadabras are abomas abiding] Peace to you.๐
Thanks so much, Suzette!
I take that as a high compliment coming from you ๐ณ
My pleasure, Ben.๐๐
