broken whisper

Posted on September 18, 2019 by purplepeninportland

Written for:  The Twiglets #144 – “a broken whisper”

If I whisper a promise
into your ear, and do not
follow through, is it a
broken promise or a broken
whisper?

Her voice broke
in the middle
of a whisper.

he whispered
his undying love, while he
gazed at someone new

Into her ear, the young man whispered
how he would truly like to kiss her.
When she puckered her lips
she looked just like a fish–
wide-mouth bass–made him laugh.  Said she, ‘scram, mister’.
