it was improper
to observe how well endowed he was
or comment on his vast wealth
his farewell speech was not impressive
however she had no intention of maiming his ego
by alluding to it
there was a frisson of electricity between them
weary of contrivance
immune to flattery
no longer believing in everlasting love
she refreshed her makeup
and proceeded to reel in the catch
refresh vast electricity everlasting contrivance speech
maim endow improper impressive weary immune
I like how this captures a scene and tells a story!
ReplyDeleteI'm not against that! And he'll probably love to have a trophy wife, so they both get something out of it, even if it isn't love. I have the feeling she may be immune to flattery, but he isn't!
ReplyDeleteWith a few words, deftly used, you create a whole scene, a whole story.
