3WW - Not Just a Fairy Tale
January 16, 2008 | Filed Under 3WW, Poetry
Bone offered us three simple words this week, so simple they were way too much fun to play with. I know, you can tell this was written in quick spurts between one page scanned or faxed or another…. but work must go on. (And so must our personal enjoyment - and obsessions.) So, check out the other participants… put your feet up after reading mine and click here. It is no telling where you will be sent!
Awkward - Kitchen - Obsessed
Not Just a Fairy Tale
She was an awkward child,
a wayward cook as an adult
He envisions this self conversation:
What kitchen?
Oh, THAT kitchen,
the one from which food
magically appears.
as he watches her face change
from confusion
to angelic gleam.
Breakfast in bed on his birthday
would have been deemed a simple request
by most.
But…
for him to ask;
for her to actually turn and walk toward
that room,
just adds further credence:
one (or two) can still
be obsessed by love,
it is not just a fairy tale.

Very sweet! I agree, breakfast in bed is a true gift, especially when the cook isn’t that skilled in culinary arts.
Christine, it is a true gift when they aren’t skilled, but I sure hope whoever makes my breakfast in bed has a bit of skill.
Wow! I had no idea where this was headed! Great use of the prompt and a nifty, nifty tale!
Glad you didn’t see it coming, Susan. Thank you.
This is so lovely…what kitchen? That kitchen!! Something for the reluctant cook everywhere!!
I like this! The things we do for love!
oh meee, that was so sweet… the things we will do for love…….
A wayward cook - hahaha, great line!
What an ending!
Isn’t so nice, to have maid service and a cook? Ahhh, the life of luxury along the coast.

This was cute Marcia!
I like that idea… that heading towards the kitchen proves love.
Aww, what a sweet story and a wonderful sentiment. That would mean a hundred times more to me than a meal from the world’s greatest cook.
Breakfast in bed is a true gift yes but the sentiment of true love even a better one
oh my that was delicious…awkward child, wayward cook…what more could one ask for…but love in bed…ummm, breakfast in bed…forget the kitchen…i especially enjoyed, it is not just a fairy tale ending..**smiling**
