Girl in White on Friday Morning

This morning, I saw a pretty, petite princess in a short, white fairy frock, gracefully gliding up the GIJ street. Her delirium-dress swayed sensuously this way and that, with every metered step. She ferried a fine pair of white sandals with several flirty straps on her delicately-drawn legs and feet. And, she graced the delightful skin on her neck and chest with a set of frosted-glass beads. Just when I’d looked for and found the sparkly white band in her hair, a taxi cab came up behind me, and rudely tooted to move me on.

    No, Adaeze, I just wanted a couple of seconds to register the telling details. And, I am not married, Adaeze.

    I understand. I love how you see poetry in everything and everywhere, not to mention you're so good at savouring all the little moments in life. Hey - I have to ask, is that you in your new profile picture? I'm off work, I hope you have a peaceful weekend filled with tranquility and lighter feelings (referring to your comment on my blog not this post ;-))

    Nana, this line: "She ferried a fine pair of white sandals with several flirty straps on her delicately-drawn legs and feet."

    yes that line with "several flirty straps" makes me wish i "was there som!"

    Yes, Novisi,I agree. It's best to let the scene be fleeting, so you can embellish it with memory and imagination.
