Short, Imagist-style poem.

"The Girl"

Her hair was a dirty blonde
color, but shone a strawberry
red in the sun; and I walked
close enough behind her to
catch the sweet smell of her
shampoo floating gently in
the wind. The ponytail bounced
swiftly as she walked,
thrusting from side to side
to the rhythm of her steps,
but alas, I never saw it move.
