the dance lessons were
not working – he had been told
he had two left feet
after two weeks of lessons
he felt he had no feet left

Unexpected
passively enjoyed
attention as he wooed her
was taken aback
when she so aggressively
rebuffed his proclamation
SoCS Prompt – passive/aggressive
The rebel
highlights in her hair
choicest cuss words on her lips
she is no lady
all she wants is her freedom
from social stereotypes

Reminiscing
she gave up her chance
of breaking the glass ceiling
to take care of kids
looks around her empty nest
with a sad empty feeling

Reverie
the heart yearns for the
leisurely afternoons of
doing nothing but
thinking about how she tames
her naughty hair when she talks

A tisket for a tasket
so, I want your heart
it is only fair for you
steal my sleep each night
for every tit there’s a tat
a tisket for a tasket
Emotional cauldron
I think about you
every time a friend leaves me
painful memories
the pain dissipates in the
bevy of your emotions

Silly assumptions
waited a life time
just on the basis of some
silly assumptions
at night she says she is mine
people say dreams do come true
Keeping the myth going
I owe it to all
believers in tales of love
to keep up pretense
happily ever after
only works in the movies
