Notes About The Poem

For Jami Patterson's “The Stumble And Rise” Poetry Contest

____________________________________________________________________________-

The Jig is On - spelling edit

When Anthony started to trip,
he turned it into a back flip.
He then finished big
by dancing a jig
and closed with a hop and a skip.

When Anthony started to trip -- he checked his glass and the dip. Good one, Andrea. Love it!

I will have to see hers. just went to see it. Not similar at all. Everyone will sound similar because you specifically have to write about tripping and dancing
