Dodge Ball

The always amazing and unassuming
flight from confrontation fright
The rude avoidance of acquaintance
with life’s challenges with dances
How can these issues of man survive,
and still claims the balls?

i do see what your saying. but the heart speaks more than just love. and you only gave use 14 lines. so i had to rap it up to quick. i could rewrite it in that manner but it lose something. thanks ether way if it doesn't qualify. i can try something else.

A verse of irish dialect?? I think I might be away to the challenge, love! Yea, sometimes we hit on a piece of verse that just sits well all the way around; tis the beauty of true events that make for grand poetry. I am glad that you enjoyed it so, and Oh,Yea, cool piece of verse, Deborah; just like you, always a treat!! :) poet butterfly
