Ms Red Pen's 5 Word Challenge

This is not a poem, but i couldn't resist participating in Ms Red Pen's 5 Word Challenge.

sookie's entry for 5 Word Challenge:


As i mingled with the party guests
the crowded room felt like a barren wasteland.
Some confuse polite small-talk with deep interest.
Just when i thought 'i don't have the energy
to listen one more insipid word' you walked over.
A distinct and welcome connection had begun.
