A sense of reassurance is always given from the man who walks tall. His hair used to be of black but now no longer exists. He is wise and advice is something that comes natural to him. His attire is always that of class. The slacks and dress shirts are always pressed but no tie is ever added. The tone of his voice can relax anyone and his attitude is very laid back, he makes you feel comfortable in almost every situation.
He loves his dog as a human and sees everyone as an interesting person. He can describe anything and it becomes a visual image. As he enters a room the smells of aftershave and cologne of fresh greens and outdoor scents become alive. As he goes anywhere, he is recognized by a friend because he is a friend to many.
You say that this man can tell about something and "it becomes a visual image" but you do an amazing job yourself. You haven't said all that much about him but I feel like I would know him if I saw him walking past me.
ReplyDeleteI really like this post. I agree with kdj003...I feel as if I would recognize him if he walked by. It's great that you could convey that in a relatively short passage. Kudos!
ReplyDeleteThe phrase "the man who walks tall" is an excellent substitution for simply stating a name. It creates a sense of both familiarity and intrigue for the reader. Well done.
