Here are a few examples:

Dribbles and Drabbles -

OSTRICHES

She knew when he was lying. 

And he knew she knew.

Likewise, he knew when she was lying.

And she knew that he knew.

It was their ongoing game

Neither daring to break the unwritten rule and challenge the other.

Both terrified of the consequences facing the truth would bring.

THE FURIOUS BRIGHTS

‘What’s with the noise?’, Superintendent Cooper asked the desk sergeant.

‘It’s ok Sir. Everything’s under control. We’ve separated them out’.

‘Who?’

‘The Brights’.

‘Not THE Brights?’ queried Cooper.

‘The very same, Sir. Councillor Bright and his ladies have just been brought in. Each of them kicking off.’

‘Why?’

‘Miss Bright is furious she was caught soliciting. Said she needs to as she has no money.

Councillor Bright is furious with his daughter lying about being destitute.

And Mrs Bright is furious with the Councillor for getting nicked kerb crawling.  Again. She won’t accept his excuse of looking for their daughter.’

HAIKUS -

The haiku is a Japanese poetic form that consists of three lines, with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third. Jacqueline has used this form to create stories (nano-fiction).

HALITOSIS

He has the dance shoes

But no one to salsa with

His breath is so foul
