the sheets flapped and puffed out
on the clothesline
in the backyard all day
I lay in the ditch
setting my toy soldiers up
for the coming battle
to the background sound
of sheets snapping in the wind
a good sound

sounds of bliss
even with the threat of war
somehow we survive

Remember when sheets flapped in the wind. Lovely sound...and smell. Thanks for the memory, Jerry.

An innocent child listening to the sheets in the wind, never imagining he would someday grow up and find himself 3 sheets to the wind. Good write my friend!

All seems right and sounds right in a world where flapping sheets play the rhythm of a sunny day.
Love your nostalgia here, dear Jerry! Very neat and familiar.
