Notes About The Poem

odd

limping through nights alley
             bottles      bones     and       tin
    odd shadows told me
                turn the corner, run into yourself
                                    and  then you’ll  never  limp  again

David Crandall September 25, 2025 at 8:23 PM I like again and tin rhyming, and I like the message to turn the corner and to run into yourself, and no longer limp, that sounds hopeful. CayCay Godwin September 25, 2025 at 9:01 PM Again and tin only rhyme if one is not British but I gotcha. I'm glad you liked the write, David, and that you told me. CayCay

Andrea Dietrich September 25, 2025 at 12:25 PM Reminds me of a doppelganger story I once read

Andrea Dietrich September 25, 2025 at 12:25 PM Ohhh this is very different. Very mysterious for me, but I really like it. Is this one that just "came to you" as you said in an email? Crossing my fingers for you to get a win
