Active Trochee

Climbing mountains, scaling cliffs,
Bungee jumping fan,
Action hero, stuff of myths,
Such a macho man.

Snorkels, dives and flies a plane,
Thrills and danger led, 
Wrestles, races, feels no pain…
Only in my head.

For Andrea’s 7/5 Trochee contest

Jack, I was not sure, but knowing how well you did the first time you tried my form, and knowing a guy wrote this, I had a feeling it might be YOU. Congratulations, it was very cleverly ended!!

HOT DOG, this is GREAT!!!!! You are a bungee guy?...whoah! The flow and humor of this is grand!....Andrea will be delighted! I started to write for this one way too many times! (I threw in the towel!) hahah. To answer your question, yes...but that color of belt is merely THE BEGINNING! It is not the end. You probably already knew that tho'. Great trochee, Jack! :) Gwendolen
