His limit

He must take the time, to warm up, to breath, to stretch.

Then he can set his limit: how long, how many, how deep, how hard.

Promise

And later he can look her up, her supple spine, her shapely legs, and more.

Still later, he will walk briskly, to the bliss of hot water.

after the Storm

Finally, he will reach the restful, silent corner of his dream.

For the scottian he is, the calm after the storm.

Revisiting this post a while later, and checking the prompt – limit – I am somewhat puzzled by the title. Not that it matters, I won’t change it, I must have fought of something else when I started, maybe related to the cutie I refer to above! Who knows.

This made me think again about the six sentence idea, which is brilliant. The challenge for me is how to structure a post with in the beginning six sentences, in reply to the prompt (which may be self-generated) and then continue into a longer work. So, if you have any idea, I’d be grateful to know!
