Ladyluck her name
sweeter than aspertame
but, a hard one to tame
once friends now filenames
all who knew her were fair game
Ladyluck was her name
a wheeler-dealer her game
with no sense of shame
but karma took aim
her brand name defamed
with only herself to blame
Reena’s Xploration Challenge #216
CHARACTER SKETCH
We have an image here, but the task is not just to write a story or poem about the picture or spirit of the picture.
You need to imagine this as a character in a story plot, and write about her.
- Give her a name.
- Mention the geography she lives in.
- What could be her temperament?
- Is she prone to melancholy, or is she faking it to fool someone?
- Is there someone she is thinking about?
- Where could she go next for here?
-Eugi
Your profile fits her so well.
Thank you, Sadje! 😊
You’re welcome my friend
Beautiful penned. Love the sugar aspartame imagery.
Thank you very much, Suzette! 😊
My pleasure Eugenia🙂
I can see her situation clearly.
Thank you, Jules.
I was reading about a character hired by casinos to stand near tables, because he was considered unlucky. Then, the situation changes along with developments in his personal life. He is not wanted by the casinos any more. Your characters appears to be the reverse of it 🙂
Yes, she does appear to be the opposite of the situation you describe. In the long run, con artists eventually meet their fate.
Glad if they do.
