5/28 Weekly creativity contest winner & new prompt

The winning entry for last week’s prompt, “the last time you kissed me,” is a poem submitted by Brittany Vandeputte:
 

 

The Last Time You Kissed Me
The last time you kissed me,
I didn’t write all my poetry in Edwardian Script —18 point font
I wasn’t into velvets and corsets then
I was peasant blouses and long skirts and boots.
And I had long hair
That I wore down every day for you.
It was in a bun though when you kissed me.
Your hands wove themselves over and under the elastic
Gave a light tug as your lips met mine.
It cascaded free as you pulled me into you—
A tangle of loose threads.
I remember.
The last time you kissed me
Was the first time you told me goodbye.

 

 

Thank you, Brittany. Your $10 amazon.com gift certificate is on its way.
