Challenge of the Week
Alright, you brilliant beasts. To kick off the first $25 Weekly Challenge, we're keeping it easy and exact. Suuuure..... Most of us have been in this spot, asked the question, so we'll frame a setting. Here goes. You're on a first date with a person you met online. There's attraction there, but you're still trying to figure out if the chemistry is physical AND mental. The person across the table asks you what kind of writing you do, and when you give them a genre, they say, in one way or another, "Describe your writing to me." This week's challenge is to answer that question here. The winner will be decided by likes on this one.

Oh, you want to know about my writing?

I ask with a half quizzical smile on my face, sure he was handsome and I appreciated the question, but was he deserving of the answer?

I pause for a second as we make eye contact that made me feel like he's already read my writings.

"I write from the heart", I say after a moment.

"So you wear your heart on your sleeve?" he asks with a wink.

"I wear my heart on chest", I say blushing as I nervously fiddle with my necklace.

"That's not a bad place to keep it" he says smiling at me, "I would love to read your work sometime".

"I would love to show you, I write poetry mostly."

"Poetry huh?... poetry comes from the heart does it not?" He asks.

"Poetry is thought in the heart and spoken by the soul, poetry is in every inhale and exhale-" i blink as I realize im babbling on. We lock eyes and for a moment in time we are alone and I know he understands- me, my writing, my soul.

"Thats the beauty in poetry" I somehow manage to speak, "it brings souls together."

He reaches across the table to my hand, "What do you say we get out of here?" He says with a twinkle in his eye...
