The word juggle on trifecta fits perfect for this story. Therefore I post it there.
On twitter there are various daily wordgames or prompts. I have in this haibun combined all the words of #altwic #articulate #lqw #ohj #liblit and #haikuchallenge, to create this little spy-story haibun. The words are marked in bold. Concilliabule means “A secret meeting of people who are hatching a plot”
She knew she was hard to refuse and with purposeful legerdemain she maneuvered herself to the seat next to her crestfallen victim dressed all in black. She adjusted her black dress and flashed him a brief smile. She thought about last night’s concilliabule, and how she would get close to him. She was a beautiful honeytrap and could juggle sympathy, compassion and sex in delicate measures. She always won. When she sighed she saw the well-known sparkle in his tearfilled eyes. He would be ready for harvest before the bus reached Cincinnati.

Björn Rudbergs writings 
Powerful
Thanks
Björn! it’s brilliant. wonderful, wonderful read
Thanks.. I had actually written it already based on the twitter words. So fitting in juggle there was easy. 🙂
A string message !!!
Thanks
Wow! You’ve done an amazing job with so many delicate words!
It was fun to juggle those words 🙂
😀
She’s a killer queen! Works SO well as a haibun, I must say…really dramatic, soaking in atmosphere and suspense…
A killer queen indeed (but the photo is that of a mannequin)
Cool .. more please 🙂
Leaving the reader in suspense is my favorite type of storytelling.
well, I learned something – did not know what haibun was until I googled it. Nicely done. 🙂
I just learned a couple of weeks ago, but fits perfect with my writing. To use the haiku to comment a piece of prose is perfect.
Love the use of juggle in this piece.
Thank you 🙂
I still don’t know what the heck a halbun is but, that didn’t stop me from enjoying this immensely. I liked how I didn’t even notice the word, juggle, during my first read. Well written, Bjorn.
It is simply a piece of text where you complement the text with a haiku. Originally developed by Basho, and has started to receive a lt of attraction recently.
I’m impressed with the number of words used/challenges met while still writing a compelling piece. Very nice!
Thank you. 🙂 the word games on twitter is fun exercise
Wow–that’s a really creative response to the prompt(s). Thanks for linking up!
This time they fitted the story so well. It’s only my second entry in trifecta. 🙂
Creepy and cool (: Great job with all those prompts.
You should try it out sometimes on twitter… Great fun 🙂
Terrific contrapositioning. Reads like a femme-fatale James Bond Mata Hari.
Yes indeed.. this woman is really dangerous.
Masterful… very well done! Spurs me to come back to the word prompts on Twitter.
Do so, I have missed you 🙂
You’re definitely juggling and you totally nailed it. I love this!
Thank you. Those prompts really flowed together this time.
The ‘honey-trap’ were your words.
🙂 BTW, I have seen both spellings in the dictionaries
🙂
This is Excellent 🙂
🙂
That’s a new form for me; nice job working so many prompts in together!
What the hell is up with that!!! I loved this, Bjorn! You sent me right to my dictionary. Cincinnati???
🙂 twitter is a good source for words, and why not Cincinnati?

Clever use of words and you’ve created this alluring, yet elusive character.
Oooh! New word!
I liked what you didn’t say here, letting the audience fill in their own blanks here and there. Excellent job.
Wonderful!loved it!
Nicely done! You put together an intriguing teaser.
Where do these words reside on twitter? I may need to experiment.
First time here, thanks to Trifecta! Wow, is this babe a killer… the line about “ready for harvest” struck me. I love the way you crafted this; the words were not forced, and the concept grew as the narrative went along. The final haibun, BRILL! Amy
