Like a Waterfall

the words
tumbled forth
like a waterfall
over a steep cliff
and when they
hit bottom
as words inevitably
will
they did handsprings
backflips
somersaults
and kept on
laughing

These sound like my words! "they did handsprings backflips somersaults and kept on laughing" You can keep them; they are being too silly for me today.

Ha, ha! You're right, you know. Hadn't thought of that. Trixie must have thrown her Muse, ventriloquistically :) gw

I loved this, Gershon. It is such a simple idea, so well-written. I could feel the words tumbling. Wow!
