Ice cold
meets molten anger
Outstretched hand meets an ice cold shoulder
Hesitant greeting dies on lips
Funereal silence clings
Molten anger ignites
Good intentions die
Can they ever…
become friends?
How I
wish!

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

So well written!
😔
This sent a chill through me Angie... very cleverly chosen words and way of laying them on the page!! The line that sticks with me most is "funeral silence clings"... great work!
Yah, doesn't sound like it will happen here. Some people are so cold.
Fire and Ice no less.
Ice cold shoulder… brrr! No chance of being friends! This was so good. Well done!
This hit me soooo hard!! Loved your Nonet!
I love that this was written in the third person, Angie. Yet another new approach to the break up Nonet.
Huge fan of this! High bar set with that first line and the excellence just kept coming! Great nonet, Angie!
So emotive, pulling all sorts of feeling strings, Angie!
Excellent piece
This one makes you feel quite a range of Stuff in just nine lines!
Fiery and passionate—great contribution!
Oh, this has all kinds of fire and quiet rage to it. Very sad and emotive, and very clever entry, Angie!
