Poetry's Perspective

     The bottom is made out of rubber
        hit it, you bounce up again

     The top though is left uncovered 
        fly past it on wings of a pen

Stated like a poet would. Down inside I knew you could. Once you decided that you should. I'm a little strange tonight ... oh, it's past midnight. Sleepy time, my friend. Night night! BB

As a guy who’s in an out of writer’s blocks on an almost never ending cycle… I get this so profoundly. The bounce may be a little squidgy but the fly pass is supersonic. I was gonna write my autobiography… but you just did it for me… you ain’t getting your mitts on the royalties though! ;-)

Tell you what. Let's run your autobiography up the proverbial flagpole and see if it flies. Then we'll deal with 'royalties.' ~ One-eyed Jack

Ink consumption is up, range is down. So I brought the Lone Ranger back into town. ~ Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum, aka gw

Short but packed with meaning—love the metaphor! The idea of bouncing back and flying high with poetry is really uplifting.

Just follow the bouncing ball, I guess. Thanks, Rowena.
