Every Tuesday, step by step, I’m walking with my readers from A to Z, last week we had the “P”-challenge, so this week we’ll take “Q” – I’m sure you’ll also find a photo, a story or a music title tagged with “Q”! Feel free to add in the comments below the link to your personal interpretation of the letter “Q”!!! Myself I’ll focus on “the Q”:

We spent some weeks in New York and used the subway daily. Once my wife was bleeding after she hurt herself falling on the boardwalk; I didn’t know how to help her, but a woman sitting next to my wife in the subway to Queens helped her vs. the bleeding very perfectly; then the woman told us, she had just escaped from the war in Sarajevo, former Yugoslavia, Europe; New York always had a big heart and said welcome to so many refugees!

Q is for quadrille. A poem in four parts (my definition). Traditionally the quadrille was a courtly dance with four couples. It is also a musical structure. But when you fold an 8.5″ by 11″ sheet of paper in half you get space for four poems. Hence the quadrille was invented. I wrote a couple last year. http://bumbastories.wordpress.com/2011/01/05/quadrille/

Actually it is a VERY deep quarry and the colors are from the exposed minerals. There is no jumping allowed but the day I was there I witnessed at least 25 kids jump.
