My chosen style is – Getting Tight in there – 55 word poem
my journey was long
moments of hesitation
doubt
it would be my pleasure you said
your door,
welcoming
I knocked
deep breath
relax
face to face
smile
embrace
laugh
talk
discovery
engaged with you
time flies when having fun
It’s late
do you have to go just yet?
unsure
come my love
stay
stay.

A lot said with few words 🙂
Thank you Anja, only 55 words, not a lot of description you can go into…
You did it very well
Awww thank you kind lady.
there was an urgency in your lines
Thank you so much, urgency is the name of the game you might say when there are only 55 words involved.
You could have included this in the Nerudan Odes prompt too … smiles … a form I have become very fond of since it only has one rule; short lines. I love the brevity of your style here; you say everything that needs to be said, but only what needs to be said.
Thank you so much Tony, you can only say what’s necessary in this many lines. I appreciate your comment. Must look up Nerudan Odes…
You gave us a great snapshot of a moment in time in just 55 words…wow! This is wonderful.
Oh thank you so much, that is a very generous comment.
Please call again….
Why use two hundred words when fifty-five will suffice. I doubt it could have been written any better without bordering on the verbose.
Ha I take that as a compliment Lyn…..56 words would be verbose I agree.
Very good poem, Michael! It makes me wonder about the before and after.
One of life’s mysteries Gabriella. Lovely to read your comment. I think there is another 55 before, and maybe 55 after….
Powerful and full of passion.
Thank you Alan I appreciate your comments.
Certainly nerudian as well a real story in just 55…
