She let his letter fall into the fire... A 50 Word story
"There would be no re-deciding." That says so much.
I like the way the last three words descend down the page to reinforce the message "Slide back down."
This is a very powerful 50 word piece, Sharron. Nice work.
I liked re-deciding as well.
Thank you, Jim. I don't know how you find time to read everyone so faithfully. I appreciate your comments always.
Beautiful words, Sharron - and I love the line breaks - that's such a clever idea! I've read this poem out loud twice, and love it even more.
You could have got a text to speech app to read it out, to save energy
🤣
Yes, I suppose I could! If only I knew what a "text to speech app" is... However, if it requires a smart phone, that leaves me out. I don't have one.
Thank you. You have such a busy life, I am always so surprised and honored that you find a few minutes to read my posts.
Very good, Sharron. I like work that speaks of agency, of determination
Well, yes, however long it may take to rally up that determination. RIght?
Yes. 😉
This reminds me of poet E. E. Cummings, who used clever line breaks.
How many times have I decided something.....then re-decided? Many.
Me too. What is good, is when we remember that re-decision is even possible! Thank you, Heather.
Re-deciding defines my life on Substack, ha! I loved this poem, Sharron. Thanks so much for the shout-out.
Also, I may have to ask John for a print of “Abalone” one of these days. Such a breathtaking photo!
It was a beautiful photo and a very provocative prompt. Thanks
Makes one wonder about the back story - she burnt that bridge down. 👍!
Yes. I think that ship has sailed... oh well....
