This Petite Pen was written for a brevity contest on AllPoetry~20 words or less. If you feel inspired, I’d love for you to join me in unlocking the mystery of these eyes. Be sure to ping back to this post so that we can all enjoy your creation.
Happy Tuesday!
Forgotten Combination
Stretch the mind.
Spin the dials
on the rotary safe
within our locked eyes.
Listen for the vibe.
Notches aligned.

Last week’s petite pen was a special write for me. If I missed any responses, my sincerest apologies as I was not my usual, dutiful host.

Pop up eyes, within books

by some other form and flow
written
on the pages only you and I
know
Always a blast. Loved your petite pen too. 💜

Oh, this is perfect. As a huge fan of pop-up books, I was drawn to the whimsy in this one. And the surprise pages with hidden words. Deeply romantic, Jeff. 💜Thank you for writing with me. This is my favorite response to a petite pen prompt so far.

Ah, I’m a huge fan of pop-up books too, they are so much fun. Oh, that’s quite the honor, thank you, K. 💜 Writing these with you is one of my fav things. I’m always eager, and look forward to it each week.
