Another Fine Fix
What can fix this fouled up fix
we sadly find ourselves in?
Could it be a time to be
thankful that we’re trapped within?
Considering that everything
that’s out there is a danger,
the safest place, in any case,
is far away from strangers.
This is my response to Quadrille #104: Oh, We’re in a Fix! —
the prompt from De Jackson at dVersePoets Pub, which is to use the word fix
in a 44-word poem, with no required meter or rhyme.

I like your use of rhyme here. The word “fix” seems to be bringing out the rhyme in lots of poets this week!

Now this makes me think of Laurel and Hardy.
It does seem like we’re in the middle of one of their films…(K)

Fix is a great word to play with and I like the use of alliteration in your title and quadrille, Ken. I for one am thankful to be trapped within, far from strangers!

Love your play on ‘stranger danger’, something kids understand more than some adults.
