Pyramids Poetry Contest-sponsor Joseph May

"One of my earliest memories is when I was just five years old, I was carrying a peanut-butter jar and I accidentally slipped on the floor. I still carry that scar with me on my left hand, it spans across my hand from the bottom of my ring finger to the bottom of my thumb"

CUT 
Stitches 
Big needles 

I ran and I fell 
The jar broke and cut me 
Thirteen stitches in my hand 

"Never run with glass in your hand"

Congratulations on a great pyramid. Experiences like yours is why we find peanut butter in unbreakable "plastic" these days. I like how you added a haibun-type explanation of your pyramid. Did you have your hand IN the jar?
