Sand Rhymes

Description

SHORT STORY - 5800 WORDS - An aging poet, divorced and suffering from writer's block, returns to an isolated coastal town to grapple with regrets and rediscover the magic of great poetry. He meets a mother and her newly divorced daughter. Attracted to both yet conflicted by memories and regrets of his wife and the need to once again win the NW Poetry contest, he mentally tries on the advantages and disadvantages of falling for either. Should he choose the wise mother who admires him or the sensuous daughter who is bold and flirtatous yet vulnerable. What he finds in the windswept sand dunes shocks and surprises him.
