A flash fiction based on Human Nature :
The sunrise was brilliant that morning. Such an odd day for them not to be together – the first too. She wished she could go with him to the lake, The same where she met him, where he proposed and suddenly she remembered it was the same place he supposedly met his new wife too.
Written for Monday Morning Writing Prompt
Also aubmitted to G-Man’s Friday flash 55 collection
No man or technology(is)
Able enough till date
To create the beauty of
Untouched flora and fauna
Raw in form since occurrence
Evolving daily, yet the same.
Prompted @ March challenge (Day 7 – Nature) and sunday scribblings (Raw)
my sentiments exactly. man should not play or try to play God.
So very true. All tech is imitation.
I prefer acrostic poetry thus you know the first is my fave…love it and indeed is true. I am waiting on science to duplicate this, we’ll see 🙂
Very nice indeed!
I love your wonderful nature acrostic and your flash fiction was well done–left me with questions–is there something mysterious about that lake location…? xo
no rose .. Its humans who act so illogical attimes ..
Oh, for sure.
It’s hard to improve on nature it’s true,
although there are many who think they do,
asphalt here, green grass there,
until nothing grows anywhere.
nature is the man’s second best gift to mankind after mother 🙂 .. nicely written. Loved Monday morning prompt too ..
How strange to meet two by the lake. Takes the romantic feeling out of being special.
exactly my thought behind using it here ..
Lovely. Man will never match the beauty of nature.
Atleast not create one to last forever as extensively as nature keeps !
Love the acrostic and the flash fiction is amazing. Enjoyed the surprise ending.
I like that!
I like that.
Very true 🙂
great poem, sweetheart. very unexpected twist at the end of your flash fiction. love them both!
Ouch! A brilliant piece of condensed fiction.
too cool.
Perfect. Appreciate the ideal expressed. Good job … poem on ….
Love them both. The fiction really got me, though.
Fantastic story-telling! Love the opening and the irony. Obviously, she’s better off without him. Great 55!
oh the 55 is rather chilling….fouling those places that once held meaning…
That’s a very busy lake.
Enjoyed both – especially the poem.
He sure found a quick way to ruin her good memories.
Now why did he have to do that? Solid 55.
And I very much agree with the poem, though some folks, mostly legislators, seem to think otherwise.
They just can’t stay away can they?
Curiosity?
Loved your 55 My Friend
Thanks for playing, thanks for your support, and have a Kick Ass Week-End
“To create the beauty of
Untouched flora and fauna
Raw in form…”
