Sandy

Jerry Reynolds

 

She was wise
She was smart
With Athena’s
Crooked smile.
Flat footed, she ran,
Piper in the sand.
For a time
She was mine
California girl.

    Ah those tunes the piper played when we were young. To recall is bliss, like a timely kiss from the little Miss.

  • Jerry Reynolds

    Thanks, Dusk. Yes Indeed.

    Short, sweet, and on point. Loved it.

    Love the pace of this tripping piece of romantic nostalgia - - reading it twice embeds that smart gal in my memory too now Jerry......... great stuff.

    • Jerry Reynolds

      Thanks, Fay. A bright thread in the tapestry of me.

      acute characterisation detailing, in your succinct writing
      helps define a crisp image, for us to relate with
      although, whether that matches your 'California gal'
      is somewhat unlikely..
      a fun shorty, thanks for sharing Jerry

        Nonfiction. She was real the runner was a Polynesian girl that taught us to run flatfooted in the sand. It works.

          Thanks, Neville. Orchidee can get his own girlfriend, should be a number of church ladies that would like a hymn writer.
