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!
Memorable visual!
Thanks, Bud!
Another vividly drawn character for your to work with!
