It’s Monday morning again — the return of the workday week. And I’m back with another belated blog post. This is in response to Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt, and I’m giving you two for one. the first I wrote last night — when it still was the weekend –and the second this morning, when I decided on something more upbeat. You can tell me which you like best.
Back to Square One?
I think, Ramon, we’d better return to our former relationship.
I don’t get it. Like “just friends”?
Like “total strangers.”
So…like…you don’t want to marry me after all?
Got it!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Some, more ready to trust, alight
as soon as I’ve walked away;
some timid, slower to return.
Still, a rousing chorus
greets me when I appear
with my bag of birdseed.

Both well done, but I liked the direct bluntness of the first better. 🙂

Thanks for your comment. Yes, she definitely was blunt — maybe needed to be?

They both pleased me, the first one for the reason Bill mentioned; the second for my love of birds 🙂

Wonderful two-fer! Like the first one? She had to tell him the what’s what!
And the second is lovely because i can just picture it.
