Flowered smiles that flee in turbulent times
Sadness flows with definite ease
Superstition not something I adhere to
Karma is part of life but it’s always in perspective
Am I so off-balance just like the stilts
I use to walk high above the crowded lanes
rough and righteous lined with sharp rocks
Tomorrow is another day then I can file my feelings away
Only to fling false pride in the furthest direction
The words don't fit. They rarely do.

>Wow your lines flow Pamela. I do so agree about false pride.
>I agree with Irene, this flows. Especially like the reference to stilts as a means of looking down on others, and the difficulty of using that to move amongst sharp rocks. Really like this, Pamela,Elizabeth
>Pamela, there is so much feeling expressed in this poem. I agree with the statement about karma!
>I know this is true for someone close.pitching forward
>You have some great sound images in this one, Pam.Love the line: rough and righteous lined with sharp rocks(and I like the ?unintentional? Poem title: as I fall we write poems)
>Pamela, this poem has a lot of depth. Well written!
>OH, I liked this one! Yes, Karma & other, unknown things.Nice picture, too (hope I can select the right profile)
>This is probably one of my favorite ones of yours I've read so far. As I read it, I sounded it out in my mind and I could hear the alliteration, which gives it a lovely sound. Also, I liked your image of you on stilts. This does have a lot of depth to it, and especially in such a short poem. Well done.-Nicole
>First of all, I just love the image in your header. I get this…"Tomorrow is another day and then I can file my feelings away"Sometimes it's easier to file them and not deal.
