Lost Letters
For Poppy's Prompts #5 - May
For Poppy's Prompts #5. Words: paint, erode, envelope, descend, wind
---
Painted thoughts erode
in wind-battered envelopes;
while love remains lost,
and our future descends into the same frozen void
as those letters you say you never received.

For the Love of Samosas
Prologue Today's post is short fiction in honor of all the hassled parents trying to keep their angsty teens in line. "Bye mum! I'm not coming home for lunch today. I'll be going to Mac's with Kelvin and his buddies before we head to his house to study for a test." With that, Adam Lim careened like the Flash out of his humble HDB abode.

Wow!😵… this such an emotive poem which seamlessly interweaves the random word prompts.✅
Damn this hit hard. Made me think of The Notebook. "Love remains lost" was a heartbreaking line and that ending was so solid. I adored this Cathy.
Love this. I wrote a story along these lines for the Misplaced challenge 😁👍
You've nicely written it.
Beautiful Cathy
That last line was brutally brilliant! Great use of Poppy’s words!
Love this!!!💕❤️❤️
Awesome writing my dear friend.
Gosh this was so poignant and those last two lines especially hit me so hard! Loved your poem so much!
So very lovely and tragic. The idea of love not just lost but misplaced is powerfully rendered here. Really well done, Cathy!
So good!
Nicely done.
