fallen angels
trapped
between heaven
and
guttersnipe's heels
on
the way to nowhere
and
tomorrow's hopes,
dreams
and fears.
yea, thou I
fly
on fashionable highs
at the end
of this day
I curl around
my solitary pillow
dreams
and leave
deposits of soulful
sorrows, wet
as my promise
that
tomorrow
is a new
day
What are your dreams for a new day? Go mention them to G-Man. He will listen, offer commentary in 55 words, then book! Sorry G, I will have to work on that central plotline, but this is 55 words! 8:01 and posted!
Nice, I like this one. And bonus points for tossing in a cool word like "guttersnipes"! :)
ReplyDeleteKat...
ReplyDeleteDon't you dare apologize for this...
I Loved your story.
It was a story, and it had a central character!
It was PERFECT!!
Thanks for playing, Thanks for your great support, and have a Kick Ass Week-End
@Me: I kind of liked that addition myself. Thank you sweetie!
ReplyDelete@G-Man: Aw, thanks G. And thanks for the prompt. I kind of like how it turned out myself.
ReplyDeletewhats up with you and C and central plotlines..smiles...tomorrow is a new day for sure...oh yeah guttersnipes is a cool word...
ReplyDelete@Brian: Haha, g had a wish list earlier in the week for his flash "fiction" Fridays.
ReplyDeletewell, I wait with bated breath for my tomorrow. Just fear the guttersnipe's heels squashing me before reaching that new day
I love that you got "a new day" in there, Katherine. This was a soulful piece. And I do believe it had everything required for a fabulous flash fiction of 55 stunning words.
ReplyDeleteLiving in the south, we are required to say at least once daily "Tomorrow is another day"! Ha. I think you did quite well with this 55.
ReplyDeleteYes, its another day.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend ~
the reason why I long for sleep, to renew my day and begin again
ReplyDeleteI've never been able to get there first at 8pm either. Your flash is 55 words,and I like flying on fashionable highs. Let the plot come next time.
ReplyDelete@Talon: Thanks Talon. A new day is the promise of why we are all here, right.
ReplyDelete@Margaret: Pretty good policy there Margaret
ReplyDelete@Heaven: Peace to you
@Christine: It just renews the faith doesn't it? Thanks Christine
ReplyDelete@Yvonne: I was surprised to be so close to the top at all! Thanks for stopping by Yvonne. :)
