"Each week, 3WW will post three (or more) random words. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to write something using all of those words. It can be a few lines, a story, a poem, anything. I'll also attempt to write something using the same three words.
Leave a comment if you participate. Many fun and interesting people might visit your blog.
This week's words are:
Gray
Fathom
Memphis"
I met my love in Memphis,
When I was seventy-two.
He was 80 and his first words were:
"I'll show you what to do."
He whispered endearing nothings
Into my hearing aided ear.
Our gray heads banged together,
His palsy made my old eyes tear.
I could not fathom going further
Than his first off-center kiss,
But I was swept away in the throes of love
When he said knowing me was bliss.
We spend our time together now,
I gaze into his sightless eyes,
And I know he'll love me always,
I'm the one who got the prize.
