Well that was a pleasant surprise!

In a week when I found out I was longlisted and then not shortlisted in the Brilliant Flash Fiction competition, I was delighted to find out about five minutes ago that I won the last Wicked Word Wednesday – see http://runninginmyhead.com/

The prompt word was ‘mediocre’ and my winning poem of 42 words is below:

Mediocre

Decent average human beings
Demonstrate just how ordinary
They are
Uninspired
Not even shades of grey
Living dull lives
Conventional
Pedestrian
Run-of-the-mill

Let’s shake them up
Show how to be
Exciting
Bold
Cherry chocolate coconut
Fizzy fancy flavour
Not
Vanilla
