This was written for both this week’s Three Word Wednesday Prompt (the words: shake, spontaneous, and rumor) and as a second poem for the “questionable” prompt over at Writer’s Island. Enjoy.

———————————————————

lithe
fine-boned
ethereal blond stranger

he’s
a mysterious
big city import

our
small town
high school marvels

girls
are drawn
to his smoldering

boys
are repelled
by unsaid suggestions

rumors
shake and
buzz in hallways

spontaneous
clouds of
cold collective gossip

his
eyes are
two-way mirrors

his
voice a
measured, quiet lock

what
undiscovered key
will open him?
