The hope that one can outrun painful secrets.6 total reviews
Comment from Sarah Tummey
I love that this is the start of a story. Are you going to end it, maybe in the next Use These Words contest? What's the secret, and what does the person do next?

Thank you so very much for the lovely interest and the shower of stars!
Comment from Lloyd T. Okoko
Thanks for successfully writing and sharing a strictly compliant "use these words" writing prompt.
Your work reminisces a protagonist involved in a scandal that requires his or her hiding from the glare of friends, relations and acquaintances.
The work highlights his or her dysfunctional status and how he or she craves for a way out.
The work earns its texture through its effective use of assonance, metaphors, hyperbole, and alliterations.
Excellent work. Bravo.

You've integrated the required words successfully and given us a thought-provokjing poem. Now I am left wondering what your secrets are! Dark clouds have a habit of following people who try to outrun what they should confess and face.

Lovely poem. I could feel the sun. I desired to be there but sometimes rain does come and disturbs your comfort. There is nothing like being able to enjoy the sun. I don't care for a crowded beach, Good job and good luck.

You picked a beautiful image to go with your poem. Looking at it, one can almost feel the warmth of the sun. Nice entry and a great job of incorporating the required word list. I wish you the best.

Dear Mystery Writer,
This is a bit of a sad piece. For just a moment, I thought I saw a little hope - with the 'flying', but you quickly dashed that. --sigh-- No - fleeing, you said. You do paint a rather dreary portrait. Seemingly describing a situation where far too many people know about a secret - so you can't outrun it. You just have to wait it out.
BUT - you left out one word. RAIN.
Hurry and do a quick edit before the time for voting comes up. Thanks for a highly poignant write. Good luck!
