3-Word Prompt: Her, Feet, Reeked

Updated: Jun 24, 2025

Their feet moved

at the same pace.


He reeked of insecurity

and abandoned ambition,

almost beyond recognition.

His head hung

as though only someone else's

hands could hold it up.


His flatness inspired jealousy

in ironed hair

and copy paper.


She was a bouquet

of perfumed sun rays,

the warmth radiated from

her every pore.


Her sweat sung in triumph,

dancing from her lips to her hips.


And she walked as though

her ancestors were bathed in gold.


But their feet moved

at the same pace.
