An Oscar performance

An Oscar performance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

...so you flounced
out of the restaurant,
leaving me in your wake;
heels, like pistons, attempting to
Stab the polished marble.

~ ~ ~ ~

...and like a school of guppy fish,
open mouths peppered the place;
elastic necks tracing
the trailing steam...

all the way to the exit.

~ ~ ~ ~

...the door opened into
the darkness,
devouring your
prickly presence:

...'S L A M'

~ ~ ~ ~

Me? Well, I just sat there
with my Beef Bourguignon

    Hello!

    I like the writing style of this theme. It really becomes hard to deal with such situations when ladies do this kind of act. I mean to say all people of the restaurant started to stare very unusually at you. Nice write.

    Hi Michael,

    Lovely lay out :-)

    Some women are really good at this, sometimes deserved, but oftentimes a bit over the top on their part. It is all in the game, eh?

    Well done, love these 'sketches of Life"

    (((hugs))) xx Ingrid

    Michael this is a great write I think there are a few interpretations of this piece and my first thought was that a pass by had come past flaunting her stuff (you probably know the ones lol) and mouths dropped open leaving beef Bourguignon dripping out that mouth of yours but then I read it again and thought hmm maybe they have been bickering and your lady friend legged it elegantly lol... I love the imagery by the way. I must have read it many times now because all my thoughts about to are jumbled, all good might I add.

    1: I like how you started with and because it's like the reader is still left flummoxed because this last friend has up ans left you all alone.. I guess you'll have to get the bill lol.

    2: I love this, the imagery is fantastic. The trailing steam is fabulous and .. She is obviously p****d with you, what did you do lol.

    3: Reminds me of the Kenny rogers song ruby lol just that slamming left a shattering in my heart.

    4: Close your mouth Michael the trains coming lol oh ans wipe your mouth. ;)

    A very telling tale. Em
