Succinctly Yours ~ Week 9
Use the photo as inspiration for a story of 140 characters OR 140 words.
It doesn’t have to be exactly 140, just not more.
Word Of The Week: kink
~
You think you lock me in a sweet romance of flowers.
But the kink in your pantomime spell is your stale breath
syruped with slimey words.

THE MEANING OF AUTUMN
AUTUMN is the bridesmaid of Summer and the flowergirl of Winter
AUTUMN whispers the tones of yesterday in a minor key
AUTUMN is an introspective season, when stray thoughts of the mind dive into the mystique of the soul
- Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

So she sees right through him-good girl and nicely done!
"...stale breath
syruped with slimey words."
Wow! I love this description! I didn't know my nose had it in her to conjure up a smell passing throught it, just by reading about one! Lol! My nose: the captive microfiction-audience! Lolouder!
Oooh...she's got his number! Your description is awesome.
She's on to him ;-)
He does appear to be foppish and manipulative, but she sees right through his facade. Excellent!
Lovely, Gemma! Neat and poetic, evocative and humorous. Well done.
Very well done:-)
I love the "syruped with slimey words". I could see this one, even if you hadn't posted the photo.
