Take the jumpstraighten the slump
work the hump
angrily stomp
feel yourself cry
slowly sigh
make a try
see how high
you can fly
This is a poem in exactly 160 characters, spaces included. The challenge is from Monkey Man, HERE for a story or poem, posted on Sunday, let him know and visit one other 160 .
Looks like a great jumping off point for flight. Thanks for being a part of the Sunday 160. They're about all I have the attention span to read as well. *smiles*
ReplyDeletenice rhyme scheme...i always wanted to fly as a little boy...
ReplyDeleteI admire your ability to work within the confines of such a short piece. "Straighten the slump" - that's what I need to work on as I sit at my computer with a cat who insists on getting up behind me on my chair.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comments. I'm delighted to know you have one of my books!
Can you let me know when you post the photo, so I can steal it and post it on the "shadowstalking" blog?

Kat, if I can post it I will, my photos should speak for themselves. I will not, don't worry, post it on Tuesday Toes.
ReplyDeleteA difficult challenge, yet constraints so often bring out the creative best. this one is well done, indeed.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me a lot of r. Seuss's Oh, the Places You Will Go. It sounds like an anthem for self-reliance and motivation. Very nice.
