Little Girl Manicure

Little Girl Manicure

Pink enamel
bitten to
remnants of lacquer
not quite chipped
away.

You do it every time! Paint indelible images with so few perfectly selected words... 'chipped' picking up 'bitten,' wonderful! Well done Kathy!! Much love, Keith (PS I have missed your poetry... :) I promise to visit you more frequently.)

It reminds me of little boy manicure... without the enamel... but then the quick could get kinda pinkish red... In any case, I think it's funny (unless I've missed the chewed off point)... Terry (I'm happy to see you've started up again, dear Kathy)
