10 Keys
by Kim Conklin
Let's play a game. I'm thinking of a word.
Do we have to?
It'll be fun. And short. I'll give you clues, and you try to guess what the word I'm thinking is.
Okay.
Here goes: Kind.
Classification.
Open.
Closed.
Strong.
Weak.
Loving.
Caring.
Loyal.
Disloyal.
Good.
Ugly.
Shape.
Plastic.
Courageous.
Cowardly.
Breakable.
Fragile.
Pump.
Gravity.
Did I get it?
No.
What was the word?
Heart.
Never occurred to me.
What clues would have helped? I was thinking aorta.
Probably not. Maybe clog, burn, reflux...

Ouch!
Great, Kim!
Oh yes. Good piece, Kim.
Funnily enough, Kim, given that I know word games are not your thing, this is very funny! *
Thanks for all the great comments! Glad you liked my bit of silliness.
@Frank, word games aren't my thing, but once in awhile you gotta step out of your comfort zone...
@Kim, so true! Congrats on this wicked good V-Day piece.
Oh yeah!*
..What was the word?
Heart.
Never occurred to me.
..that for me says it all.It may be silliness but it certainly struck a nerve. Nice going!
Thanks, Quenby and Darryl!
So much fun, whimsical and not you...not you that I have read. I like how you continually stretch yourself, Kim. *

Thanks, J.! Always try to be thoughtful, that's my motto...:)
Fun, indeed. My answer would have been "Kind of what?" *
