Flash Fiction 55, Poetry | Posted by Jannie on 12 April 2012 @ 5:55 PM
two teeny flying bugs
are square dancing
on my laptop screen
here this afternoon.
The smaller gnat
must be the girl.
She’s quite the
jaunty jumper,
making sure to
keep her feet
always within
the pixels, like
a child avoiding
sidewalk cracks.
The male is off
my screen now
— gone to fetch
beer I imagine.
🙂
This is for The G-Man, fiction in 55 words.

somewhere in colorado
a tall balding architect
in a honeycomb room
is smiling at his wife,
a dream ballerina he
met and married in the
rolling thunder of 1975.
on his loom he weaves
pines into parties and
reclaimed rafters into
harbors many hearts
will sail from around
the world to drink the
wine of gratitude in.
Write a Jumpin’ Jack 55 word flash for The G-Man.
It’s a blast, blast, blast.

You will wait some, yes,
in post offices, airports
and auto repair shops.
You will wait for phone calls,
tulips and checks in the mail.
You will wait for shows to begin.
You will wait and wait
for what seems forever
for babies, answers and
dolphins until suddenly
— there they are!
Within and around you.
That makes 55 words for The G-Man!
Write and post a 55-word fiction and let him know.
It’s a fun, 100% calorie-free adventure.
(Unless of course… you, as I, munch potato chips and swill beer while computering.)
Blessings to all!
Oh, that was in Galveston, TX this past summer, on a dolphin cruise boat. On a balmy 102 degree day.

Was that your dream car?
Would you marry that sink?
Will you break some hearts?
Kelly, what do you think?
Will you always be thankful?
Will you nurture your friends?
Will you sing every day?
Will you round river bends?
And I need not ask…
if you’ll stay cute….. because
you resemble that handsome Galoot!!
I’m not a math genius per se, but….. I do believe those are 55 words.
And the last time I checked, it was still Friday somewhere.
🙂
So happy FFF55, Dudes.
55 for The G-Man.

Ice patches.
Rough patches.
Calm patches.
Patches on a marriage
in spots, but the seams
triple-stitched to last.
Vintage 70s patches
lookin’ so groovy.
September apricot patches
on a cute little curious cat.
Sail to the kitchen
or maybe the moon
and you might return
to find that curious cat
in your patches patch too.
Those were 55 words of Friday Flash Fiction for The G-Man.
FFF goes live Thursdays at 8:00 Michigan Time!
Write fiction in 55 words, post it and tell G-Man — he’ll comment and put you in his good books.
