Encounter

Prompt ▼

"The 160 " , believe it or not is a poetry form for which I wrote an explanation in 2008. The little one whom I wrote about is now taller in height, compared to his mother, and working as a cook in a restaurant in Rotterdam. He recently used SMS (which you call text in the US) to get in touch with his girlfriend. She is living in the States. Hard lesson learned that using SMS text abroad is expensive.

Your mission is to write one 160 (containing 160 characters in total - not including the title).

Topic is yours to choose.

the sun glints on his blade
dancing, menacing
my first time
no pretty girl for me
I must be the girl today
merciful clouds roll in
and wreath my shame in shadow
