All's Fair in Love and War
Some men notice breasts first, others, legs.
His weakness: eyes.
The evening she met "Dr. Right"
he confessed he believed
in love at first sight, whispering,
"I adore your Audrey Hepburn eyes and lashes".
Preparing for their third date,
the mirror reflected worried baby blues.
Sighing, she opened the makeup drawer
for the necessary deception.

You'd think some men would look beyond the surface. And yet they don't.

Welcome to the Friday Flash Fiction 55 group. Yours is a great contribution. Hope to see you here again. Also, if you like short story challenges, try my Sunday 160.
Welcome to the "55" family...great firster!
i don't need any stinking colored contacts...I's got me some baby blues!! :D
Moonduster, Brian, G-Man, Jingle, Alice, Mama Zen, Jannie, Eric, Monkey Man and Lulda - I finally got the courage up to try a bit of creative writing and it WAS fun. Thank you for all the kind comments. Can't wait for next Friday! :)
Love this. :)
Ruth, thank you! I have just finished one for next Friday. I think it is pretty funny. I have started a new blog (!!) to keep my creative writing separate from my poetry and photography. Hope you can catch it every now and then and let me know what you think. I think the conversations with Rilke are getting beyond me... I will continue to read them and the fun comments. I find myself understanding them differently at times and don't want to be a cog in the wheel... :)
