The Slip

Glittering red
Her New Year’s dress, her luscious lips
Glittering red
Confetti raining overhead
The ball dropping, the champagne sipped -
Waking up naked, eyes like fists
Glittering red

Andrea Dietrich Date: 12/12/2011 4:52:00 PM Hey, susan, in my email to you I mentioned thinking your new contest was about detectives. I don't know what made me think that. I just now saw it was noise pollution or offensive odors!! sorry about that. Login to Reply

Jack Horne Date: 11/19/2011 2:45:00 PM Yes, it's sad that revelry often turns to violence, Susan. Many congrats on all your wins : ) Login to Reply

Andrea Dietrich Date: 11/19/2011 8:24:00 AM VERY interesting one, Susan. Somebody got bloodshot eyes!! Or maybe some violence had ensued? I like how descriptive it is and it's too bad it was too short! Login to Reply
