Sighs

Sighs are ways lungs breathe in more pure air when your feet are not getting their oxygen share and hungry for blood. So, it is important to sigh when needed, hear? SECOND PLACE WINNER written June 9, 2021 for "Waltz Wave" Poetry Contest sponsored by Kim Merryman syllables checked with HMS and PS

Strange that. Some folk sigh when their feet need oxygen. I sigh when my feet are bored... ha ha... if only I could tap dance. Congrats on your win, Milt. Now... on three... one... two... three... SIGH!!! Blimey! My feet feel better already. Terry

I am so happy for your happy feet, Terry. I am told this is the reason behind the sigh. Still, you could not PROVE it by me.

I had no idea; I am now a learned woman on what a sigh is. Hmmmm I wonder how that will affect mine from now on?

Actually, that's the truth. You sigh when your blood needs more oxygen. I read that somewhere. Hopefully not on the Internet!

Love the attitude seeping through every crack of this one, Milt! Tickles my fancy; that's for sure! Tricks and Treats, Gershon
