Two young girls walking along the path of life.
One asks the other, "What are you listening to ?"
The musical one says, "Time Time Time. You know that song."
"Yeah. The one by that girl band."
"Anyway, it's been going on in my head all day."
"What's on the road today?"
"I don't really know."
"Dust looks like it to me."
"Maybe an apple tree."
"Who are you a poet?"
"Nope, just a goofball who can't sing."
"When I get home I'm going to look up those words."
"Yeah, sure you are."
"Now, let's get something to eat."
"Walk a mile in my flips why don't you ?"
"Seriously."
Behind them was a dust trail that lead past the apple tree.
A bird was sitting on the wire above it.
As it flew away you could hear them both singing
"Time Time Time"
And, that is what they had today.
Walking in their flip flops
down the road
singing a song.

(I do have to say that I am trying to write.
I'm not good at it.
I'm just throwing out my thoughts.
Not good at all but this is what I was picturing in my head)

I think that you are a great writer - that was a wonderful post!
I loved it. It had wonderful imagery - I could see the girls, the dust, the flip-flops
It had a bit of whimsy
and it was touching and thoughtful
feel good about your work
your work made me feel good :)
That was GREAT! You write very well!
I always enjoy what you write, even if I don't always leave a comment. You're far better at it than many published so-called "authors."
Aren't we all just trying to write? None of us are perfect. This poem was very well written and included excellent imagery. I think you did a fabulous job!!
not only culd I see those two walking down the road in their dusty flip flops-I could hear them singing. Nice Magpie
Wow neat! This is a really great site! I am wondering if anyone else has come across something
similar in the past? Keep up the great work!
A delightful scene - vivid imagery and lovely choice of words!
I think that is lovely. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.♥
You wrote that? I was ready to read the rest of the story. Very intriguing. As a woman of , well, more than 5 decades of living, and most of the living has been done in flip-flops even in winter, I can relate, so I want to know the rest of the story, please?
You are quite a skilled writer!Wonderful imagery in that post!
Always good to walk a mile in someone else's flips!
I thought it was great, I got those pictures in my head too!
Nice magpie! Keep it up!

I luv the scene u set of these 2 girls walking down the rd so carefree.
I love the verses about walking down the road. Time, Time, Time. I don't know that song. I'll have to look it yp. I do know "Time is on my side," by the Stones.
That was pure genius!
