Really interesting have not heard of this before, one just picks the words? Thought this was clever and fun and a little more complicated than it looks like. Will give it a try when I can. Thank you for this fun use of words. Free Fall, Standing Tall--excellent!!!

Hello Linda, Thanks for your read and your comments here. Yes, one actually picks word pairs in this particular short-line free verse type of poem. I've done three of these writes and plan to do at least one more for this year. Every poet has a different way they do this style of write. My choices were planned and deliberate to develop a storyline of sorts. Hope this helps. Best Wishes, Gary

Hello Arturo, Yes -- actually, it was a bit of fun putting these combinations together. I am probably going to do at least one more of this particular format during this calendar year. It's purely, in many respects, a creative exercise!! Best Wishes Always, Gary
