A Floor's Lament

I've been under attack ever since I was finished
  Stepped on, scuffed up, and muddied
    Thrice I was flooded
      Twice I was bloodied

Graciously this pounding I take
  'Cuz without me your feet'd really ache

This one floored me. : ) Nice take on something we seem to take advantage of every day. Very creative my friend.

Thank you for your kind words... Merely elevating the common, ordinary things in life, as it were... ~ Gershon

It's been said you can write poetry about anything. Now the humble floor gets honoured. Nice write Gershon. Tom.

Well, after all, "Don't tread on me," was the on the colonial flag in 1776, back when you and I were … (NOT that old!). So, I guess it's ok to write about a floor. ~ Gershon
