Remember your quadrille must be exactly 44 words, not counting the title and must include ice or a form of the word.
➰➰➰
Your speech drips with frigid ice
As you turn a cold shoulder
A friend you say you are to me
Yet the smallest mistake I make
Makes you behave with hostility
A fair-weather friend you are
Not one to stick through thick and thin
➰➰➰
Word count; 44

Wow! Well done Sadje. I felt that cold shouldered imagery, never the best type of “friendship”.

I like the title and where you went with “ice” in this piece, reminding me of the term “fair weather friends”. I think I might have a couple of those.

Thanks Dawn. Yes, it’s important to do that and disassociate oneself from them.

I’ve had a few of those relationships. But now the time is not worth the effort to keep them.
I read so many Dear Abby (advice columnist) about people taking advantage of friendships…
