When you called me...

Your poem or sentence must start with these four words.

You may then expand into a poem or you may just complete the sentence, as you like...

And, we're off...

BTW...if you need a slight example here is one from me;

"When you called me I came running, limping, falling..."

I will make no distinction between those that choose to only finish the sentence or those who choose to wrap a whole poem around it, either way, I am looking for those entries that stimulate my feeble mind, hahahaha...so let's have at it lol
