So if Allysmufy wants to get this going again, I'd figure that I'd help a bit. Smile

A poem set to video, quite beautiful.

I'll start.

She is feeling slightly awkward, it isn't easy, and she wants to reach for her phone, check emails she knows don't exist, because her inbox always looks sadly empty. But she resists. The coffee is warm, and her fingers are cold, and the scarf is scratchy on her neck. She clings to those feelings and resists. Noise flows, quiet and unassuming, and she breathes in with the unconscious rhythm.

The dress doesn't fit right, and she thinks that every one is staring and thinks that no one is. She wonders what would be worse. She pushes that aside and focuses intently on the menu, it feels like it is written in a language she only half knows, damn vegan places. She picks something that looks moderately familiar, and hopes that perhaps one day she will choose something that she knows nothing about, just for the fun of it. She carefully ignores the empty chair in front of her.

She has a cat, for when it gets to be too much. The cat often doesn't like to be cuddled, but somehow it senses her distress and puts up with it. She buries her nose in his fur, short and soft.. He finally begins to struggle and she puts him down, turning instead to her guitar where she picks random notes that begin to sound beautiful. She does this till dawn and the shakes fade. Then she sleeps.


Not so hard, eh? will somebody else please try one of these prompts, i'm feeling slightly useless Sad
