It’s been a while since I just sat down and wrote something freestyle.
With raven hair and emerald eyes,
Her beauty cannot be disguised,
Her velvet skin, her heaving breast
Her passion beats within her chest.
A settled life, a path to tread,
A comfort paunch, twelve years he’s wed,
A pleasing job, devoted wife,
His passion thrown into his life.
Two comets on trajectories glide,
An accident, their worlds collide.
A twist of fate? A lucky chance?
Can he believe, a secong glance?
The chat, the smalltalk, can’t be real,
His circumstance cannot conceal,
She stays around, she sees his worth,
Disguised as humour, banter, mirth.
They share their secrets, both confide,
But he is pensive, mystified,
At length concludes, events replay,
Attraction’s what we do and say.

I like this a lot, but I recommend expanding it. The ending is too short to do justice to the beginning.

Ha, you don’t get away that easily. It is freestyle for you, too 🤣 How do you think it should end?

Well, first there’s a wrinkle to iron. She sees his worth disguised by what he says, yet attraction is what he says?

He warns her to keep her eyes open, but she keeps coming. He doesn’t know what the attraction is, figures it must be that.

I find it is fun sometimes just to say what is in my head, no prompt word etc. Don’t you think?

I agree. It’s easier just to be prompted to go in a certain direction, but if the fancy takes me…

I had the idea in bed last night, and you know how you need to write this stuff down before you forget it…

Fancy, huh? You should pay it more attention. (Pssst. I like it as it is.)

Thanks. I like it so there is enough wriggle-room for people to imagine the story they want. I’m there simply to provide some guiderails every now and again.

Writing from the head is good, as though it’s meant to be. I loved this piece.

Thanks Sue. I woke up with a few fragments and managed to work them into something. I liked it.
The subliminal message here is that sleep is good 🤣

I agree. I sometimes wake up in the middle if the night with ideas that have popped into my head 💡 I’m surprised I don’t get up and get started there and then!

although now that I have a Google speaker, I have been known to tell it to take a note in the middle of the night, so I don’t forget!
