Innocence Betrayed

***

She dressed a bit provocative,
however it was not evocative
of her mind or personality,
merely a statement of fragility.
Once she started blooming, and noticed certain grooming
enhanced her beauty rare,
it seemed as if they cared.
Parents, friends and even a child,
were drawn into her, wild
to touch the forbidden realm
with none to help or steer her helm.

A2Z T/SoCS “2”

Friday is here once again and so is your Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. Today’s prompt is a repeat from six and a half years ago. I bet you don’t remember what your post was about if you were around back then! And if you do? Sorry. Come up with something else. Haha! Today’s prompt is in line with the letter of the day for tomorrow’s A-Z Challenge. Here’s your prompt:

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “too/to/two.”Use one, use ’em all, bonus points if you use all three. Extra bonus points if you start your post with one. Enjoy!

It usually takes two, you know, like me and you? Of course if you are too busy, or don’t want to, I’ll be okay with that.

I’m talking about dancing the tango—what were you thinking?😂

One minute, thirty-five seconds

That’s how long it took to play the “Star Spangled Banner”. The “Star Spangled Banner” is the USA national anthem. Is it too much to ask for sports teams on the sidelines to pay attention to their country’s flag for one minute and 35 seconds? Is that too long to pay a tribute to the land you are privileged to live in?

Watching sports in particular I see people talking, running around, walking, jumping up and down—hardly anyone has a hand over their heart anymore or taking their beloved ball cap off! I think this is a basic problem of disrespect that showed itself completely and horrifically on January 6.

Inferiority

An ordinary meet

An ordinary place

Hiding in the hedgerow

Just to see your face.

I sent a secret note

To meet him there

Knowing that it’s not from me

That you would be there.
