It Began as a Stroll

Posted on November 10, 2017 by Carolyn Dennis-Willingham, Author

It began as a stroll

both hand in hand

until she said no,

taking a stand

He turned to her face

and yelled some rude words

She knew right away

the man was absurd

Confident now

about the division

she strutted away

and praised her decision

Painting by CD-W

daily word prompt: Strut

Hold fast to those decisions. There’s a lesson here, for anyone who finds themselves in this situation. It’s okay to say no. I really like this message!
