The market is busy
Lovers, arm in arm
Shop together
But She
Flirts with the flowers
Spilling over the corner aisle
Like her tears
She finds a delicate bouquet
With daisies and one rose
She’ll put them on her kitchen table
And pretend they’re from
Her Lover
(Who never
Was)
Katherine Darlington has articles in many publications including poetry anthologies, along with several published novels. When she isn’t riding horses or hiking on some mountain trail, she’s working on a story. See more of her work at katherinedarlington.com.
This resonated with me, Katherine, as a well written tiny story. Great beginning, middle, and “got me in the feels” ending. Well crafted, well done! :-)
Thank you so much!
Funny thing is, is what we see on the outside isn’t always what lives on the inside…
Great piece. Love the writing style, description and story. :)
Thank you!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
