More in the life of Pettigrew.

 

Smiling Eyes

Pettigrew is an enigma
once a month he likes
to wear an item of his
wife’s clothing
that no one can see,
but everyone
can see his smiling
eyes.

    Nothing wrong with a little silk up against the skin. And oh my, the twinkle!

    In some wider sense, this is about everyone.

    Amazing! Such a memorable character study in 28 words. Yes, I counted. I was rather on the impressed side. So I counted.

    Thanks for sharing that, Paul.
