This weekend's challenge: Give us a 33-word example of personification.
I live across from the tracks and recognize the sound of
train cars coupling. They can be quite amorous and let out a satisfied metallic
purr at the conclusion of the mating ritual.
There's also some screeching. I live by tracks too but the "coupling" is kept to a minimum. I hear their mating calls!
ReplyDeleteAah!Great imagery there;-)Coupling indeed is amorous for we can see steam rising,lol!A great piece:-)
ReplyDeleteDarn! Atreyee just beat me to the punch! I immediately thought of the escaping steam, too! Nice to have a coupling post to fuel our imaginations on this cold, January afternoon. Good work. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful, almost like an excerpt from a Sociology textbook or something. Great take on the prompt!
ReplyDeleteGood one. Amorous coupling. Clever play on words!
ReplyDeleteThis made me smile. I don't live by trains, but I imagine it would make some noise!
ReplyDeleteDelicious. Loved that you used train terms that turned naughty!
ReplyDeleteLol, nice one - they certainly do couple!
ReplyDeleteThe 'mating' of train cars can be quite suggestive. I agree.
ReplyDeleteNice work! I can see this being extended. Love the pic, too.
ReplyDeleteLol, I love it. :)
ReplyDeleteOh those flirty train cars (:
ReplyDeleteI hear the trains in their amorous pursuits too. And cruise ships honking their pick up lines. Very descriptive and fun fun read.
ReplyDeleteTrain cars coupling! How absolutely perfect.
