My missing hours
are still out there...
reverbrating from the early eighties
with a nameless faceless
airman, staff sergeant.
A captain here
or a major there.
I thought we were all
socially lubricated
perhaps it was
only me all along as
they recall
in vivid detail
the delights of lost nights
while I can only intuit
and imagine how good of a time
I had.

This is such a very unique piece of thought you have penned. A depth still littered is mystery of what had been. Provocative in its delivery, and so well described.
-
Oh yea! Been there and done that, a few times! I have sooo gotten over it though, and was good for last evening New Years temptations... Stayed safe and warm... at home! Great job with this prompt!!!
-
I love this, this is great! Excellent interpretation of the prompt, very clever and funny, and so well written.
-
Oh, I love this. This is exactly the sort of thing I was looking for when I posted this contest. Thank you so much for entering.

Whew...I have a few of those "lost moments" as well! Hope I am an occasional daydream vs. a nightmare though...ha! Love the penning down military memory lane, excellent work as always, a gift with words you have girly! Fun read

military woman huh? interesting take on the prompt. I like the style of this script. seems familiar to me. there are no wasted words in this write and I definately see how a person can lose track of relations. I wont go any farther. bravo.

Oh my! This is certainly different coming from your pen. I love the carefree feeling this has but I can't help to wonder just how many military men you have had.
Love,
Amera♥
