POEM STARTER

A photo booth camera captures the moment when a girl confesses something to her friend.

In a poem or short story, describe the image and let the readers infer the nature of the confession.

Snapped

A whisk of hair


Blurred hands


Smile malevolent


Eyebrows creased


Lips parted


Eyes widen


Breathing taut


Flinching step


Anger clouds


Guilt arises


Arms protect


Stumbling step


Backwards


Forwards


Silver point


Red teardrop


Smudged shadows


Silent isolation


Broken bonds


Forever gone
