Out of nowhere, the snow-blizzard hit. It whipped my wrap-around skirt into a frenzy, then whisked it away. Up, up it billowed skywards, baring my fishnet-clad legs to the raging elements... I screamed curses towards the leaden clouds...
But the winds retaliated, blinded me with my own hair, which snaked across my face, stinging, like the locks of Medusa.
Why did I storm out of that party just because I saw them kissing?
Unusual, for me, to have a flight of fancy that doesn't land on the page as a poem. But thanks to the Sunday Muse for galvanising me into action!
From the title to the wonderful photo editing to the ending that I feel leads to a mystery and sequel. Captivating and wonderful writing Jinksy!! So glad you have been joining us for the Muse!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see Blogland is still alive and well, even when a global pandemic has struck the real world! ♥ Thanks for popping by, Carrie.
DeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting. ☼
DeleteOH YES! Fellow lover of photo edits .... great job, both image and poetry! I have missed you.
ReplyDeleteIt takes one to know one, Helen, my arty Blogpal. ♥
DeleteI love the photo manipulation to make it look like a snowstorm and I can see why she'd be storming out! Great take on the prompt, Jinksy.

Some how it's the altering of images that spurs me to write the words, rather than a given photo - just blame my five years at art college! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. ♥
DeleteBad, unevaluated actions, things happen at parties. The wilder the worse they are. Jealousy flares when liquor flows even when it is a sister/brother kiss, pinch, or wink between old friends. In Texas we have a lot of "at party" shootings. Just like road rage.
ReplyDelete..
Eek! That makes me glad I live in good old Blighty and have never driven a car. Road Rage will never afflict me - and a global pandemic's lockdowns have kept Roadkill to a minimum during the past year, never mind parties, for they too have disappeared. LOL
DeletePlease go immediately to my blog and check out my reply to your last comment. I think you will be pleased!
ReplyDeleteI was, I was! You get the Putty Medal for detective skills, never mind google!!! *smiles*
DeleteGreat write, leaving us wanting to know more about that kiss!! Love the photo editing as well.
ReplyDeleteFeel free to carry on the story post-kiss - I have no idea where it could lead?! I only enjoy introducing characters to my blogpal readers' own imaginations, and leaving the outcome to them...what a lazy Jinksy,eh? *smiles*
DeleteYes! I love it from title to poem. Love you had this delightful flight of fancy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for flying with me. LOL ♥
DeleteA lot of imagery here Jinsky. You took us to a journey of creative thinking at its best. Missed seeing you lately, Ma'am!

Ah, Bless! But I've not really been playing hide and seek on purpose - just Time & Tide taking over the will to blog. *smiles*
DeletePleased to see you surfacing again...Best join blogland again and give the kissing parties a miss :)
ReplyDeleteKissing parties? Chance would be a fine thing - pandemic has obliterate both for old and young alike, but it's good to see Bloggy pals surviving :-) ♫ ♪♫
