So, I challenge you to take this familiar object and theme—go beyond cliché and write something unique (in 44 words). Mirror, mirrored, mirroring—use some form of the word mirror in your poem.
Mirror, mirror
Why do you lie?
Why, when I look into you
Do I hate my reflection
Why must I sigh?
I wonder why
I don’t like what I see?
Mirror, mirror
Why do you do this to me!
Please, please do tell me!
Quadrille: Mirror, Mirror on the Wall | dVerse (dversepoets.com)
I think this 38 words, not 44, and I don’t think it’s a Quadrille (I need to research , but I did use the theme of a mirror!
Mirror, Mirror,
Hung in this
Ancient Hall,
Who will accept
Adventure’s call?
Mirror, Mirror,
Can you foresee
Their fate?
Shall they face
The undead hate?
Mirror, Mirror
Shall your curse
Be broken?
Shall your human
Form be woken?

I googled “quadrille” and realized it’s as simple as 44 words – no other stylistic constraints. Knowing that, I’ll definitely try to officially join in.
