You wait and you wait for

the rumbling roar of the

to reenter the hood.

When Poems Vacation In Hawaii — in 55 words

Flash Fiction 55, Photography | Posted by Jannie on 19 August 2011 @ 5:55 PM 34 Comments

when poems vacation in Hawaii

they check into the best hotels

of course, and order up bottled

fresh air to pour into the sea.

When the margaritas begin to

flow right after breakfast, the

vacationing poems are usually

found swinging from the earrings

of ladies surfing in the ocean and

ladies surfing blogs on laptops

while lounging beneath palms.

That was 55 words for our favorite fictional flasher — G-Man.

Hula day photo from Kelly’s preschool when she was 4.

Poolside photo I took in Galveston last week.

I’ve never been to Hawaii. Have you?

Cloudia lives there. I love her beautiful blog!

And in parting, a Kauai Beach Hilton photo off Google. Meet me there some day?!

Even The Hearst Castle — a poem in 55 words

Even the Hearst Castle has

its junk piles way waaaaay back

behind the farthest potting shed.

 

I saw some with my own blue eyes as

I slipped along the purple petunia path,

away from the guided flock a while.

 

We all have junk, some in the trunk.

 

Some hidden behind grape leaves.

 

It’s our clean-up attitude that counts.

55 words for The G-Man, Prince Of Petunias.

Wait, did that have a plot?!  A main character!??

🙂

What If Everything’s A Poem?

What if everything’s a poem?

— the sky in your eyes?

— the leaves of light in your hair?

— the swirls in your lollipop on a Central Park afternoon?

— the shirts on your clothesline smelling like balconies of hope?

— the dance of umbrellas on your miracle of misty morning?

— this moment here in the heart of time?

Okay, Dudes and Dudettes, I believe that was 55 words of flashy fiction for His Excellence, The G-Man.

Posted with love, by Jannie who Highly Recommends the 55 word experience!
