Weekly Drabble challenge

[momentarylapse8.livejournal.com]

Rules:

1) A drabble is, by definition, a 100-word story therefore all responses should be 100 words exactly, no exceptions.
2) You may also choose to respond to this challenge with a five-minute sketch.
3) PLEASE put the word DRABBLE at the top of your post. That way people can easily spot the drabbles in amongst any reader comments they receive.

RATING: I don't think this should be limited so reader beware that they could be any rating (you could put it in the subject line if you feel it needs it)

PLEASE try to remember to make each drabble a comment in response to the original post. That way, if the comments start to collapse, the drabbles themselves should remain visible.

Drabble: Mirrored

He is not a man of deep reflection. His thought skims the margins of things, as a swallow skims the surface of a pond seeking its food, bright and quick. It suits him; suits his sense of humor, his odd turns of phrase, and the joy in his eyes.

I, on the other hand, am constantly deep in thought. He suspects these depths and comments upon them, even if he rarely understands. We are a study in contrast, complementary, a chiaroscuro in human form. Where I seek the depths, he soars.

We meet at the water's still, sun-dappled surface, mirrored.

I love this so much, because it's both poetic and true. XD

mmm, thank you. :D

I agree. This is really lovely. The image of the swallow and the use of 'chiaroscuro' are just delightful and lyric

I rather liked those myself, thank you. ;)
