Noughts & crosses"=Tic Tac Toe"

Circles and kisses, mark
the spot, in the game of
chance; wistfully, hoping
that one didn't see,the
opening for a run to
victory and triumph.
Ducking and weaving,
all over the page; In the
hope of leaving false clues,
innuendos, but alas, a
winner emerges; 3-1 I win!
now it's your turn to make the coffee.........

    Excellent write, cutiepie! (mmm....coffee) *wipes away drool snaking down chin* haha...sorry about that! Just for anyone who wants to know, I wrote an article on coffee once, and despite all the rumors, it's really good for you! Anyways, cutiepie, I love your writing...there's so much imagery and you make the words dance because of the order that you put them in! You have so much talent; I can't say it enough! Thanx for commenting!

    Lol. I would think tic-tac-toe is too long. We play rock-paper-sissors in my house. lol. I thought it was cute. The length was perfect for what you were trying to convey, which as you said, was just a simply thought. It brightended my day.

    Great job! Once when I was much younger and hung with poets and painters and others who would not woo fashion, each would choose a line or word or phrase and we would pen our sudden classics from whatever hit us between the eyes. You did it well, I'll make de coffee! Stu
