Flash 55

Friday 55 Flash Fiction is brought to you by G-man (Mr Knowitall). The idea is you write a story in exactly 55 words. If you want to take part pop over and let G-man know when you've posted your 55.

With a nod to Raven and Quilly
( This week's Raven's words were hitonious .-24 words out of the 55)Words for this week:
love is a many splendored thing, trucks, inspector, symbols, rising, organic, liberation, costly, smug, naughty, the nature of the beast, identical, charcoal, braggart, vacation

Love Lost

Costly organic symbols designed to show that love is a many splendored thing revealed instead the nature of the beast. In his liberation the inspector had become a smug, naughty, braggart of a man drawing identical charcoal trucks on costly paper. Rising on his vacation only to eat and draw, he no longer loved her.

And Now for something completely different. And we mean completely different.
First there is poetry- written well by a few experts. You know it when you see it.

Then there is poetic drivel- written by many. Lots of fun and often punny.

Then below them all is quivel.
The following is quivel.
It in no way even pretends to be poetry or drivel.
Instead it is something that looks like a poem, uses at least three of Quilly’s words.
In this case it is also a flash 55 quivel since it has eleven lines with exactly five words to a line. Please, again, note this is a quivel it does not pretend to be a poem or even poetic drivel.

Bad History

In the gardeviance up there
Enough to make one swear
Secret kexy letters so old
Now waiting to be sold
An aretaloger needed right now
To help hide a sacred cow
Nequient of building a plan
He grabbed letters and ran
No paladin to save his hide
Onto the stage did ride
Caught he just loudly cried.
