Lift Off

I thought I had to wait
for an invitation from the wind
to test how far I could fly.



Liner Notes for this Groove: This poem was created for the Friday Writings prompt at Poets and Storytellers United, Upcycled Words. I did go through a bunch of my old poems, intending to reuse a couple of lines here and there. As I tried to see how they might fit together, this bit came to mind and I thought it was pretty decent as is.

  2. Just beautiful. So few words but so much to think about as metaphor for life.

  3. What a titillating little verse. It sets the mind off on imaginary wind drifts!

  4. This is about "Do we dare to take chances in life"?
    I am also thinking about one of the haiku i wrote, along similar lines. :)

    1. I know I've struggled with being too timid from time to time.

  8. Decent and then some. I love how the words we read weave so much power into what is implied.

    1. That's the fun of micropoetry isn't it? If we do it juuuuuuust right, we can pack a lot in there.
