If you’ve never before heard of the phrase “on fleek,” get in line behind me. It was, however, the prompt word for the Ragtag Daily Prompt site today. In essence, it means perfectly done, exactly right; extremely good, attractive or stylish; sleek and perfectly groomed or styled. Examples: “Eyebrows on fleek.” , “Makeup on fleek”.
Lashing Out
When her lash she chose to tweak,
intent on its being on fleek,
alas she tugged a bit too much
and found that it escaped her clutch.
In vain did she survey and stoop.
The lash had landed in her soup.
And shortly after she sought to seat it,
she had the misfortune to eat it!

For the RDP prompt, “fleek.”
I think we should all don false lashes and post our on fleek selfies…. I must have some glitter false lashes somewhere….

I saw some magnetic eyelashes at Walgreens yesterday. Perhaps I should invest. I have some I bought for a Halloween costume years ago but they are in my drawer in Mexico, a thousand plus miles away from where I now am.

Hilarious! When it comes to this prompt, your poem is on fleek.
I’ve never heard of it, either — and I wouldn’t mind if it had a short shelf-life, like “groovy”. 😉

I think it’s going the way of some other teen words or street slang, like saying “Bae” instead of “Babe.” At least, I hope so 🙂

I’m so out of it I didn’t even know about “Bae.”
