Sat by the pavement
at a chic Champs-Elysees Cafe,
reading a hardback,
emptying my wine glass
while munching some cheddar cheese.
I’m knitting a plot
for a romance novel
set in war-torn Ukraine.
To nail down that plot,
I’ll now get out my laptop
from my old satchel.
Funny how a simple collection of words can shake loose so many different narratives. Yours is so evocative, I want to be there. Lovely!
Such great use of words. Imbibed and penned beautifully!!
I love the responses from Tracy and Divya and how you used the words for this prompt, especially the surprising turns in the stanzas – loved the twist on ‘knitting’ and how it said so much:
‘I’m knitting a plot
for a romance novel
set in war-torn Ukraine.’
