Perspectives through Prose, Poetry and Photography
A family of five
With only four chairs
Each night, we’d assume our rightful places;
Like musical triplets, played over two beats;
And I, sandwiched in by two siblings,
Bridged the treacherous gap.
The challenge: This weekend we are giving you three variations on a prompt. We need you to give us 33 words back, and 2 of those words must be either “cheap flights,” “sandwiched in” or “spectacularly clean.” This weekend, your piece must also be non-fiction (poetry or prose). And yes, we reserve the right to call your mothers and former lovers to ask for verification on your tales. Trifextra weekend challenge…www.trifectawritingchallenge.com.

Thanks…can still recall the discomfort..but since I was the oldest, I was thought to be more skilled at handling the imbalance. And I was the biggest physically.
