Magpie Tales Photo Prompt 49: A Really Short, Short Story.


triples


Miss Lutz, Miss Axle, Miss Sal 
toe-looped too short and fell in the snow.

Friends in threes and triple the laughter 
in days of cold so long ago...

    Clever one, Rick! Wouldn't you love to see a video clip of them actually skating?

    Rick, I love the rhythm. Why don't you try writing stories for children. Not everyone can pull off this kind of voice.

    reminds me of one of jewel's more clever songs called everybody needs someone sometimes. the mixture of title and first name isn't very common and thus makes it so different.

    Love the flow, the rhythm here... love the laughter I imagine that flowed through the day.
