Trifecta challenged us to
write a 33-word metaphor/simile based story using one of the four pictures
shown on their website. Check them out. Each one would be fun to use!
Because I LOVE them,
especially the orange ones…and I bite them almost immediately…and can’t help it (I
do not have patience in abundance), I chose this cute picture.
Her girlish mind’s like that
Tootsie Pop she’s eyeing intently.
What’s deep inside? How long
will it take to get there; know her?
Like any girl/woman, the
answer?
The world may never know.
Sweet! Pun intended ;-)
ReplyDeleteSide note, I don't last 30 seconds before I bite.
Sweet indeed ;-)
DeleteOh, man! If I make it 30 seconds, that's a record. Love the taste of the crunchy orange and tootsie roll together.
I am going to refrain from responding, but it won't be easy.
ReplyDeleteSur-prize, sur-prize!!! Biting your tongue does not come naturally!
DeleteAs opposed to you missy, who can't help but bite or so you shared here. ;)
Deletelol that last line xD
ReplyDeleteThanks, Draug! True life?
DeleteI enjoyed reading this. We call it a lolly-pop here. And I was hoping for some inspiration for this photograph but then I chose the one with tree.
ReplyDeleteWe call it a Tootsie Pop because it has a Tootsie Roll inside otherwise they are lollipops. I almost picked the one with all the stuff covering the walls. That one spoke to me as well.
DeleteGood comparison!
ReplyDeleteThank, Steven. Always loved the commercial.
DeleteI really liked, "What's deep inside?" I think you've got a metphor and simile going on here, but I'm no authority on such things! Anyway, either or both are very good. I guess you could say, "Life is like a Tootsie Pop, you never know what you're going to get." Oh, I think I'm mixing up my movie similies. Great job.
ReplyDeleteThanks, lumdog. It was fun to do this simile. Yes, you are thinking Forest Gump and the owl mixed together. Tootsie Pop commercial.
Delete"how long will it take to get inside?" -- loved that comparison.
ReplyDeleteMaybe never. Takes some work (a lot of licks). Thanks for liking!
DeleteLove how the ending is like those old commercials with the owl (I think) saying the world may never know how many licks it takes to get to the center!
ReplyDeleteThat was my inspiration, the owl in the commercial who pronounces "Three. It takes three licks" to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. Doesn't work that way for us though!
DeleteI like this a lot - what's deep inside - the world may never know. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stephanie. I believe it's true.
DeleteThis was a thought provoking picture. And you captured the essence of her enigmatic expression with your interpretation.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I stared at it a while but the thought came quickly. It was the ilook on her face that drew me into the picture.
DeleteI loved this! Truthful, but lighthearted and fun.
ReplyDeleteI was going for fun and lightness so thanks for noticing.
Deletethis is my fav this weekend! so cute and fun. it reminded me of that old commercial (:
ReplyDeleteRenada! You just made my Sunday! Yes, that old commercial came to mind immediately before I wrote it. I had also just been to the bank where they give out my fav lolli!
