TIPTOE NIMBLY

Occasionally, I attempt to do Words for Wednesday which started quite awhile ago and has been kept alive by many people. Each week new words are given to be used in whatever creative style speaks to you. I usually choose poetry [poorly written poetry], while others write short stories. When I do participate, I'm usually a day or two late. Sorry! So if this is something you'd like to try, check it out on Mumblings [the person who started Words for Wednesday] or on Drifting through life to get the weekly words. 

This weeks words are:
perfume, blanket, blue, market, voltage, feline
and/or
exotic, throttle, oven, comprehend, toss and trespass

Tiptoe nimbly past her exotic market of many delights
Ignore the NO TRESPASS sign and the flashing neon lights
A sleeping feline in a soft, silky blue blanket smiles
Knowing they smell the sweet, seductive perfume vials
Comprehend and toss humanity in that self-righteous oven
Voltage on! Throttle Up! Feel the heat of forbidden loving.
Tiptoe nimbly down the path, tiptoe nimbly beyond the signs
Tiptoe nimbly, always nimbly to where a smiling feline dines.

    You truly have a 'way with words' Mildred....and how many times have we ignored those warning signs...those 'don't go there and do that' signs.

      I'm totally blind when it comes to warning signs. To me they say "come on in and stay awhile."

    Great job! There's no way I could write like that after given a few words to work with.

    Love the way you make the words dance. And the different rhythms you can evoke from a brass band to a senuous slither...

    Oh, Mildred, yet another reason to love you. You humble me...and that's not easy. I am smiling from ear to ear after being treated to this. You lifted my spirit with your words. Prescient and furry familiars, borrowed flesh and deep, heavy-scented Kamasutra oils in the warm hands of a kindred spirit. What's not to love?

    You have no idea how much I love this.

      Oh, Jnuts, I bet you say that to all the girls :) I'm so glad that I can still make you smile after all these years in the trenches. Believe it or not, I thought of you when I wrote it.

    Hahahahaha. It's usually "Wanna Fuck?"

    Thanks for thinking of me. Now, about my proposal?

      [lol] you sexy devil! What proposal? Are we getting married? Seriously, what proposal?

  11. Mr PeppercornTuesday, October 2, 2018 at 11:04:00 AM CDT

    Hahahaha. The proposal being 'wanna fuck?' Or maybe this: how about you bake ME a damned pie? I've been baking them for you without any reciprocation for 14 years...if you know what I mean. A man could get blue balls.

      You get blue balls from baking pies? Oh my! So what kind of pie would you like, my lovely friend with a great proposal.
