100 Words - Lips
What? I give you “lips” and not one tawdry entry? Readers, you disappoint.
No. I’m just kidding. Truth is, I think that this was my favorite challenge for submissions so far and it once again inspired me to write my own 100 Words this week.
The Compliment
“I just noticed you have the most amazing lips”. She said this to me across the desk I was leaning over and she was sitting at. Compliments always take me off guard. I get trapped up there, somewhere in my head among the dendrites and neurons and synaptic clefts. Such an intimate compliment brings me back to the Now in all its juicy and mundane detail. Here now is the brown carpet, the calligraphy hanging behind her head, the movement of people in the hallways, the wild red halo of curls framing her face, her own pink-red cherub lips.
Secret Agent Mama’s, while on the “hot” side, was most definitely a tribute to love. A delicious one. Any man whose wife writes about him this way should count himself a lucky lucky man.
There are ways that your touch makes me wild with desire.
There are ways that your hands travel the curves of
my soft body that reduce me to a puddle.
There are ways that your eyes can look into mine that makes me crumble.
There are ways that you can hold me that reminds me that I am safe.
There are ways that your lips meet mine that enchants me.
There are ways that your tongue dances across my skin that captivates my senses.
There are ways that you can enter me like no one else ever can or will.
I love this gently sweet entry by Lceel.
Lips smile, and let the world know we are well and happy.
Lips pout when we don’t get our way, or when the world intrudes itself in an unhappy fashion.
Lips pucker in anticipation of a baby kiss or when they have been attacked by a strong dose of lemon.
Lips soothe when the world has bounced itself off our noggin or scraped some skin off our knee.
Lips give form and shape to our speech, wherein we express love, kindness and understanding.
Lips nuzzle and nibble and tease our tingly senses. Oh, the things we do with our lips.
Warm welcome to calicobebop. I haven’t had a chance to explore the rest of her blog, but this was a charming 100 Word tribute to a daughter.
Sweet little rosebud that looks nothing like mine, you must have inherited a rouge gypsy gene to make such a perfect bow. Either puckered in frustration or pulled wide in happiness, I never tire of your expressions. I remember the first sounds that crossed them. I remember the first words they formed. I remember all the laughs and cries in-between but what I’ll remember most fondly is their best friend - Thumb. Between you and Thumb many sorrows could be cured. A tired little girl is comforted, a reassured soul drifts to sleep and a gratified mother is forever grateful.
So that wraps up the Lips challenge. Let’s see, I’m not sure I can pull an interesting word out from the book I’m currently reading, but let’s just see….
Hey! Not bad. This week’s challenge?

I got so busy last week with the move and BSa training I never got to writing mine out.
Definitely going to play with this week’s word though.
I am so ready to play. Last week was …. tame. Only because I really couldn’t go where I wanted to go with ‘LIPS’ - this is, after all, a family show. They would have run me out of town - I promise.
But, this week I am rarin’ to go. I love this Challenge. This 100 Words. This succinct look at an idea, a notion, a concept. I am hooked.
Hey Sassy Mama, hope the move went smoothly. I look forward to your entry this week!
Lceel, it always makes me laugh how you structure your comments around the next challenge. Very clever you are!
100 Words: Hidden is up!! Great job last week,everyone!!
I was trying to be coy, trying to be cool, and essentially re-used a word from a past 100. I didn’t even realize it until Lou pointed it out.. LOL
Ya’ll can laugh at my expense. I blame the number of children I have!
My unexpectedly sober response to ‘hooked’ is here.
Here is my entry for hooked…
