This is just about as good as Hollywood Noir gets.. Any darker and we would all get sucked in :) Delightfully dark and true...

You gotta love the lipstick, right? Thanks, Nev!

[Ken Simm.]

Ahhh… but the Sunday kind of love -- that's the kind that lasts. Languid Sundays, reveling in time… those long, lazy afternoons in each others arms.

If he'll devote Sunday to you, he'll devote every day.

Of course, that's before kids. LOL

[Kelly Scheppers]

I love the mention of languid Sundays. Thanks, Mom!

Well, maybe he can get lucky on "hump day?"

[Kelly Scheppers]

...there's always hope! ; )

[David Klay]

I feel so unoriginal writing this but...you packed so much into so little! A wonderfully sensual write!

[Kelly Scheppers]

I appreciate it so much more than you know. Thank you, David!

[David Klay]

It was a pleasure to read you. I must go now, but I am so reading more of you when I return. :) Have a wonderful night.

[Kelly Scheppers]

...you, too!

Wow- my mom played “A Sunday Kind of Love” by the great Dinah Washington all through my childhood. Her voice was so mellow, sultry, complex, emotive...I learned every word and tried to imitate her singing when I was around 7 yrs old. My mom played the greats for me- music was the precious gift she gave me. Kelly, your smoky, noir poem and lady brought it all back to me. Great wordplay, nuance and teasing in your concentrated and amazing lines. Well, Maybe she’ll tell him, “Come up and see me sometime”.....or....maybe she won’t!- ha! Loved this.

I was telling a reviewer below that I always wanted to be a dame from the 40's, sitting atop a Steinway piano and singing my torch songs with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra. Wow, how wonderful for you to grow up inspired by such greats. I am thrilled you were able to go back in time with this one - that you really appreciated it. Thanks so much, Annette!

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

Yes-a chanteuse! Me too!:))))

[Pete]

you've crammed an awful lot into this piece. terrific stuff kelly. well, we can't always have what we want especially when it comes to affairs of the heart. still it's nice to have our cake and eat it too - especially red velvet cake ... :)

[Kelly Scheppers]

You had to go and mention red velvet cake, didn't you? Thanks, Pete. I needed that!

[Fran Marie]

The girl doesn't want to be rushed ..can't say that I blame her..too many Friday nights fun awaits .love this one Kelly..nice work..

[Kelly Scheppers]

I'm thrilled you enjoyed my little Noir. Thank you so much, Fran! Have a wonderful day.

Ah to quote Spanky and Our Gang...Sundays will never be the same.
A Sunday kind of love on Tuesday? Wouldn't that get you kicked out of the office? ;>}

There is something about that splash of red in the picture...I wonder if John Garfield is lurking in the background.

A good write, Kelly.

[Kelly Scheppers]

That splash of red lipstick is what snared my attention. Thanks, Ted!

[LitStar]

this made me laugh somehow

the way it's worded is cleverly fun


a wicked little jaunt of wordplay
