I am trying something new. One of the wonderful writers I follow has a writing prompt I am giving a try. It is a ten word challenge and I think I accomplished something reasonably coherent from the blend of all the words. Not quite my usual style, but it is a challenge after all. Let me know what you think and join in the challenge if you would like.
This is the word list…
And this is the original post – Sumyanna Writes
Here goes…
I manage a shy smile…
Inside I am giddy with excitement
But I am too scared to let it show
My heart is about to pop out of my chest
There is no doubt I am in awe of him
But I punish myself with words of failure
Sure he can only see the bad in me
And there is no hope for a future
In addition to my internal fears
There is a steady supply of women
Willing to trot in front of him and bat their eyes
Why would he want someone plain like me
I look away from his chiseled features
And that five o’clock shadow he never shaves
Sure he is way out of my league
I suddenly see a shadow cross the base of my table
I look up into heaven as he smiles down at me…
I think it’s great!
Thank you!
Wow. I really loved this. Amazing – I mean AhMAZING attempt at the prompt. So very glad you joined in. I think all women have known this feeling (and perhaps men as well, but that I could not say 🙂
Thank you so much for your kind words!
You’re welcome 🙂
