A few words that say it all, Sandra. But I've got this motto, too. If trouble is in the air? Or even indifference, I wear my finest and look my best---I like to look GOOD walking out of the door!  

Hugs, sweet lady.

Jeez, Sanda, with those few words you create the setting for an entire story...almost like looking at pictures of a crime scene and imagining what had occured...this is EXCELLENT!!

Talk about a pitcure with very few brush strokes.  You captured the moment.

Nice work, Catalina.  Your choice of image is very scandalous, I commend you on it.  Isolation of the word "lying" was a good idea.
Enjoyed.

What a great image.  I think I'll use this to warm up my empty library. To remind me that great poetry doesn't have to be eighteen pages of alliteration and rhyme and all the stuff I cant figure out.

PS You could replace "in a corner" with "in the back of the second drawer"   hmmmpf stupid men.

I would say that it's time to dust those off.

I may have to try some of these.

Nicely done.  The spirit of twenty words or less?  I like that idea.

Wow, Sandra...  I'm flattered and very impressed -- you've done my "TWENTY OR LESS..." form tremendous justice.  This was very visually potent and the sentiment leaves a lasting impression...  things like this should never be "wasted"... ;->
