  1. Oh my in the airport here I do restlessly sit
    For passing faces I try to keep about me my remaining wit
    Nothing now can possibly aggravate
    In this avalanche of emotion impossible to articulate
    Thoughts and more thoughts float gurgle bad bubble
    Need a cuppa chamomile tea to settle racing mind trouble
    Instead will think of lace pretty Chantilly
    And put all scurrying thoughts contained in a silo
    A silo of silence covered with a tangle of sparkly tinsel -OH
    I must now stop Poeming because here now I go!

  4. I have the wit of an Erudite, fast and quick remarked
    He gives me the adreniline rush of an avalache, exciting and crazy
    The story starts at the age of four
    His curly hair shined like tinsle on a Christmas tree
    My brown hair, long like Reprunzle, got tangled.
    Before we sat in silence
    On that stair.
    I said "Hello, would you care
    To be my friend?"
    There is where the jouney began
    Paving the road to our teenhood
    Always caring for each other
    Like a little sister for an older brother
    No aggivation,
    But if you would count not wanting to leave
    And begging your mom for a few more minutes,
    Than yes there was aggrivation.
    Now him, with the tinsle hair and the avalnche adrenile
    And I with the wit
    Smile at each other
    No words need to be spoken
    To know how we feel.

    2. Thanks, De! I know that this is supposed to be Flashy Fiction, But really, it is Flashy NonFiction! I have been so busy lately... :(

  5. Jane Shlensky, what happened to your "Blunderbus" piece? It came to my email inbox as a post, but now that I want to comment, I don't see it here.

    Anyway, I loved this piece! What fun! Love the way you relayed the memories, and especially loved the wordbump of "bungler" and "blunder" in the end. :)

  6. Sorry, De, but the system wouldn't allow me to post here with my story. Too long, I guess, even though it's only about 800 words. So here it is on Two Voices, One Song. Enjoy.
