There was no way to escape your smile
My heart was set in free motion
Fantasy now seems strange and distant
With our nearness creating this friction
I was starting to believe
I would never find true love
Little did I know....
How fantastic!

Note: I wrote this poem as an entry to a contest created by fanstory.com. The contest was to use 10 words in a poem, namely:
smile - heart - escape - fantasy - believe - little - motion - fantastic - distant - friction
that's a wonderful exercise...whether prize or no prize!
Wow, excellent job incorporating all those random words! Reading it, you would never think it was forced or contrived. Very good Sonya!

'Fantasy now seems strange and distant With our nearness creating this friction'... ten words or not, you have expressed best of your poetics especially there in the quoted line...expressions fantasy/distance and nearness/ friction showing beauitiful mutual co-operation...nice work...10
