Five Seconds Into An Encounter
You have such
a sad and tired, old face sir ..
She said,
as she tried desperately
but failed
miserably, to catch
the strawberry ice cream
with her tongue
before it hit the kerb and
an almost silent
but not surprisingly sweet
sticky splat ..
Is that so, he replied slow
with his most
sincerest of well-practiced
false smiles ..
Although it was completely
wasted on
the seemingly precocious
five year old ..

A fine write N.
Would she recognise KP as a member of the Old Trout Club? lol.
as far as I can recall, she had a fine pout 🐭
What an engaging opener that sets the mind rolling - The start of a novel without a doubt as I can see a sensitive story unfolding from that precocious encounter mon ami........x
Hello Fay & thank you so much for diving in like that .. Always & so muchly appreciated .. x
What a wonderful write! I was so engaged at the beginning...who knew she would be a toddler? Full of description, loved it!
I am delighted you alighted and took time to consider all the contents herein .. thanks again dear C .. x
When we care for others with a fullness of attention juggling melting ice cream can become unwieldy.
it does on such occasions demonstrate the capacity to spread much further than one might otherwise think possible and into all those nooks and crannies along the way too 🍧..
lol
that 'matter of fact' veracity
as accent to a child's, as yet
untainted sincerity
is a life rejuvenating, delight
to witness..
(well, unless you're at the end
of their prickling observations)
😌
a wonderful slice of life, dear Poet
thank you for the chuckle
Shucks and chuckle on kind sir .. tis but a pleasure and mine entirely ..
