FLASH 55 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

My friend, MISSY, has been encouraging me to join the FLASH 55 club. Every Friday, we write a story with 55 words. It's a lot harder than it sounds actually. My first draft was 140 words, eek! This is my first 55 EVER, so please be gentle!





Childhood memories...
presents, cake, candles, pass the parcel,
hair ribbons, scraped knees.
Today, the cake remains, candles increase,
props assembled for more mature games.

Searching for the girl I used to be.
Is she hidden behind the lines on my face?
Put a smile back on your dial girl.
THE BEST IS YET TO COME!

  2. Excellent first 55! *trying not to be intrigued by the "more mature games"* *innocent* Encouraging message there. Nice work! (And welcome to the group!)

  8. Hi, KB: I actually left a comment earlier, but blogger didn't accept it for some reason. Maybe my computer is haunted. Good first 55. Enjoyed it. My 55 is up also!

  12. that's really good (and you say you can't write well!)

    I really should get back to doing 55's.

    Glad you've joined, although it's more competition for me lol
