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?

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!
