Quandary


Honey and Lemon
Stir
Tink clink chink

Swirling black
Sip
Ahhh

Rattle
Bone on bone
Glances

Silence blankets
A drone ahead
Blah blah blah

Heads nod
Lulling or agreeing?
It's a mystery

Sip
Hours of minutes
Ladies room beckoning

Shift
Courage swells
Fades

Sigh
Sip
Shift


A very silly response to ABC Wednesday's letter Q: a conference room quandary, Theme Thursday's Mystery, Sunday Scribblings' Courage, and Magpie Tale's photo of a saucer (bone china?). Click each link to see other creative juices flowing.

    I don't think I could ever include so many themes in one post and pull it off this well. Very creative, good job.

    I liked "hours of minutes." Very descriptive. I'm sure we've all that that moment before; nodding off listening to the drone of voices and wanting to escape (to bed). :)
