Flash Fiction, tutto e niente

Finding Fabio

Once, fame had been his drug. Now, those covers were nothing but an anathema. A reminder of his age. All he wanted was peace. But they always found him. Somehow. He took a deep breath. Tossed his hair. Smiled. Maybe just one photo he thought as the giggling middle-aged women approached.

Late to the game for the “anathema” 52 word challenge, but thanks to Sammis Scribbles for an excuse to use it in a story and to Linda’s SoCS Challenge for a reason to write about FABIO!

Conditions for Love

to break me, condone

my sins fill a laundry list

plenty to choose from

Thanks to the following for the inspiration (prompts) of laundry, condone, and plenty: Rag Tag Community Word Challenge and Fandango’s FOWC and One Daily Prompt.

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

Dare to Dream

Just a girl they say

Just one more pop wanna be

Just watch me she says

This haiku was inspired by this wonderful piece of art by Vincent Giarrano provided courtesy of the photo challenge at Mind Love Misery Menagerie and by the train of thought inspired the word of the day (daredevil) courtesy of Tales from the Mind of Kristian.

The Rain

drops float in the air

a prism of light and color

held in a moment

before they swim to the earth

bathing the colors of spring

red purple and yellow tulip fields
