she handed me a card
but it was not as funny
as she had lead me to expect
I did not use an opener
but it may have been in a dream
where I was suddenly growing older
she wanted to be bedded
I was quite sure of that
for she told me so herself
collecting bling for the Ondines
I was also quite sure
that I was not intended
she wanted to be bedded...! I have just learnt a new word...! I am thinking how would I say that in spanish...
ReplyDeletehmmm, interesting Gerald, JH
ReplyDeleteA birthday card, mermaid jewelry and a sad ending. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteGerry,
ReplyDeleteThis piece overflowth with emotion......
and a little touch of mystery............

@Sandra: "bedded" might be an archaic usage. Shakespeare: "He wedded me but bedded me not/claiming the not was forever". Great pun on not/knot there.
ReplyDelete@JH: Hmmm....yes, thanks.
@willow: perfect summary as usual. cheers.
@Eileen: probably the simplest thing language-wise I've written in a while. just a little experimental 'messin' around'. i was trying to see how much I could say with the fewest simple words. very unlike the heavily laden adjective fests i usually create. cheers.
ps. just noticed i left a word out. rats. it's in there now. early readers cheated. ha!
ReplyDeletehmmm, i like these few words. kinda playful i'd say
ReplyDelete@Shadow: Glad you got that part. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteGerry,
ReplyDeleteNow the myterious language has taken an even more mysterious turn, with the sudden addition of a 'left out'!
That's a new style of 'messin around!
Eileen
Don't Ondines collect souls ? of which yours must certainly then sparkle. Bling indeed.
ReplyDeleteYour writing is always intriguing no matter what the subject. Look forward to your next post.
ReplyDelete:-)
I find this interesting and a great blend of something modern and classic. I'm enjoying reading your posts!
ReplyDelete@Tsionah: Thanks. Apt description. I can't shake the past so I'm kind of a neo-modern. Maybe someday I'll grow up. Ha! Cheers.
ReplyDelete@WaW: Not sure about that but they do love the bling. ;-)
ReplyDelete@Carrie: thxs Carrie. that means a lot. pretty much on a weekly schedule. Cheers.
