Ooooohhhhhhhh yes!
The subtlety is so smooth and the alliteration is perfect.
This one is a personal favorite.
Might be my favorite yet. 62 wow!
How many in the book ???
Lol….and when can I get it !!!!
Wonderful.
This one joins my favorites, too, Coleman.
I was delighted to tap it out this morning!
And yes, working on a book. So far 62!
Thanks for the encouragement!
I agree with Coleman. The alliteration is splendid. Another great story packed into one sentence.
Thanks! Truly a gift this morning.
So evocative. I can see him and imagine what he hears.
Thanks, Karen!
I think I hear it as well, thanks to you! All of these are luscious in their own ways.
🙂
Great soundwork, Pam, which adds to the chug=chug of the train!
Thanks, Nancy. Digging deep to create life on this train!
I always feel an awe at how you compress so much into 17 syllables–I love “tapping ragtime”
Thanks, Shaun!
Great alliteration. When you say “boards,” do you mean an airppane? A train? a bus?
Thanks, Tom!
Boards as in boards a train. Had “boards the train” in originally but needed those two syllables elsewhere!
Wonderful — I marvel at how you do so much with so little. Can’t wait to see the book!
Thanks, Bill!
