3WW : eerie guarded translucent

Real Toads Word List: fresh  burst  defy  chain struck 
forward  exchange  customary  prefer close

Poets United: the key

He had wished to make a fresh start
Never had he anticipated the burst of enthusiasm
That could defy such ominous feelings of anxiety
that struck the chain of events

Guarded in his interest in such customary exchange
he had preferred to have just to close the chapter
and move forward without much fanfare
but he had a confession to make

That eerie feeling translucent in nature
was inching slowly much too slow
He had never thought he could muster
the courage to admit that she did it

yes, she did!
she had stolen the key to his heart!

  3. Well done. It would be hard to move forward without a heart. Like a car, it needs a way to start up!

  18. Hank, an exquisite portrait of romance. The confession was my favorite part, plus the way he sweated out whether to bear his true feelings. The final two lines, perfect. Glad to see you, my friend! Amelita
