Hi, Craig,

Wow - quaquaversally. Now, while I often have characters that are quaquaversally in their movements, I don't think I would find any use of the word in a poem.

Not to mention - how on earth/what on earth would rhyme with it?

Thank you for sharing,

~MP~

Love it! I did run into that word and thought about it. But no, it's hard to use that word, so I'm glad you did it first! And what a great message. Here among artists / writers, we can be the first to overcome differences and show how to "ditch enmity."

Hi Craig, no I wouldn't use it in any poetry let alone prose. How many strange words the English language contain. Quite amazing come to think of it. Well you've certainly showed us of the fact. All the best. Ulla:))

I agree with you on this one, big time. Time to just stop pushing each other's buttons and all get along. Your monorhyme contains a great message and I like the new word. Marilyn

This quintain, Spread the Word, presented in monorhyming iambic tetrameter, suggests that the friendship zone needs to expand to the real deal. Nice.

In answer to your question, Craig, "No, never have and never will." But you did a good job with that strange word. Your choice of image is perfect. Good job on the monorhyme, too. Not easy to do and have it make sense. Thanks for sharing. Jan

Thanks very much, Jan. I'm not such a fan of the word myself, sounds odd. Cheers, Craig

I'm all caught up in saying "qua qua." That is sort of fun. How impressive that you chose to use it as one of your rhyming words. No, I had never thought of doing that. Don't think that I could have.
Your sentiments are exceptional. A peaceful world does start within each one of us.

"Qua qua" sounds a bit like "caca", which I'm sure more than one person would say I'm full of. Many thanks once again, Debbie :) Craig

reply by Debbie Pope on 05-Nov-2018

What is caca? I am learning so much Australian talk.

reply by the author on 05-Nov-2018

It's not Aussie, it's Spanish.

Caca = poop :)

reply by Debbie Pope on 05-Nov-2018

That's what I figured.

A very well-written mono-rhyme poem. Sometimes our ideas become out of control and it seems it is spreading into all directions and we cannot stop them doing that.

Great poem Craig as usual. I love reading your work. Thank goodness you included a translation of the word quaquawhatever you call it. Nice one. Cheers Jen.

Quaquawhatever sounds much more fun than quaquaversal. I might have to pinch it. Thank, Jen :) Craig

What a fantastic word! I love it. Love the poem too...clever and well expressed. Especially loved the opening lines:

It's time for ditching enmity;

try coexisting, you and me.


Great flow and rhyming overall. The phonetics are masterfully woven too...especially the assonance of I and E balanced with consonance of T in the above lines and the consonance of C-K-Q sounds too.


Love it!

You have such a way with words, dear Craig.

Warmly, rd
