Contest Entry - Writing Prompt |
My entry to the April 8 2014 "The Writer's Cramp" Today's Prompt: Write a story 1000 words or less or a poem 40 lines or less about a mysterious, anonymous letter and a missing key. Please bold these are two items when they first appear in the story or poem. In Search Of A Key Where in the world could it be That elusive missing key. I know I had it with me Last weekend at the sea In the pocket of my capri. I also remember that we Went for afternoon tea Because it was after three. We sat under a fruit tree While the wind was gusty, Blowing blossoms free, Disturbing a honey bee. Deciding we should flee And go enjoy a movie, Or maybe rent a dvd On which me both agree. You paid the entrance fee, And I got popcorn and candy. We sat high in the balcony, Laughing at Crocodile Dundee. Afterward we had coffee You told me of an adoree Who unseen had left thee a mysterious, anonymous letter he Found tucked on his Ferrari While parked by the jewelry. "I think it was from you, Annie," As he slipped to one knee, Pulling out a ring all sparkly, "Who asked me to marry thee." I smiled a little sheepishly, And nodded yes, it was me. Now, I remember this repartee, But not where's the mailbox key. |
