Friday Flash 55.....



Perfectly Serene...Mata Hari Guile!
A uniquely charming sense of style.
She'll fly your kite
She'll float your boat
She'll rip your lungs out thru your throat!
She suggests you leave..She knows you'll stay.
She questions your Love...No matter what you say.
Shrug your shoulders...Exhale a sigh
Because without her...You'd surely DIE!


Shhhhhh.....
This IS a FICTION site .
If you or anyone you know has written a Friday Flash 55
Please come tell The G-Man
I will visit, read, enjoy, comment...Then BOOK!!!
So from the most persistant host from coast to coast...
Have a Kick Ass Week-End!!!

    Good thing you mentioned it was fiction... I was just starting to get worried :)

    Happy Friday Fifty-Five, G-Man and crew!

    My schedule’s a whirlwind this week; I’ll be around to visit everyone tomorrow. I rounded up fifty-five words and coaxed them into a smile…

    Treasure Hunting.

    Once the kite's up and the boat is moving you just don't suspect your throat is about to be removed. Great 55 with a poetic flair! Thanks for hosting, G

    love your post (it's reminds me of a song my father in law would sing-he was a sailor to his core)...I did a 55...maybe more non-fiction, than fiction...but hey, I did it in 55!
    This was my very first try with this challenge...come on over and visit, wouldja?

    Almost reminds me of that Billy Joel song where he mentions all the exasperating things she does, but then admits "She'll Always Be A Woman To Me."

    Which I hope he means in a complimentary way. :)

    Thanks for another Friday 55!

    Nicely done. I love the images in this one, and especially like the line "she suggests you leave...she knows you'll stay".

    I'm in, I'm up. Mine is Here. As always, I have trouble with the "fiction" part. But you can pretend I made it up, if you want to. ;)
