Thursday's 3 Word Wednesday

The prompt words over at 3WW are rest, sidewalk and twice.
I decided to dictate a bit of Fiction in 58.

Summertime
The boy, at rest, was bundled energy; muscles tucked into shorts and grimy T-shirt quivered, rippled against containment.
At play, he was maniacal, a wave of motion; his hair bore the style of wind-blown shock.
Bare feet, soles thick as shoe leather, slap against the sidewalk in midday heat.
Twice, he snuck cool sips from a garden hose.

Love the descriptive piece. hair bore the style of wind-blown shock - I read that twice and then again - it's wonderful! Great writing!

I agree with Tumblewords, I love how you show us so much with so little. I am in awe. And jealous. As always.

Haha. You're right, that's how I was when I was little.

I never wore shoes and always drank from hoses.
Tumblewords and JC: Thanks. Kind words go a long way.

Noah: I was the same way as a kid.

OK, I've been wanting summer for awhile anyway, but this just clinched it :) Summer, and a trip to the farm I grew up on so I can drink from a garden hose again...
