Comfortable Walking Shoes Tattered, dusty soles Complete with holes Brisk Weather Summer heat adjourns Autumn wind churns Beware Flying Objects Acorn hits head (Better than lead!) Washed Out Trail Moist air foggy Makes ground soggy Watch Your Step Trip on stump Foot sports lump Evening Falls Better hustle home Lose map? Roam Dinner Bell Rings Follow that sound Find home ground October 10, 2018 Contest: Six-Word Couplet Series Encore Sponsored by Mark Toney

I would gladly take a hike with you, Carolyn...despite everything you sure know how to find the way back home:) Time for me to work on some couplets, now before the contest fills up! Hugs // paul

What a beautiful string of couplets Carolyn, I so loved this poem, and could visualize the hazards hikers come across so vividly penned by you! xoxo Jennifer

Thank you, Jennifer. I just read and was very moved by your poem about animals fleeing a wildfire. Nice work.

LOL These are easy to write, Hon, and it's fun to try a different light form once in a while. Thanks for reading.

Hi Carolyn, a group of wonderful, fun couplets you put before us. Each one strong on its own, even stronger when placed in a group. Always enjoy having a smile and a giggle. Wishing you the best of luck in the contest. Have a wonderful Thursday. Hugs....Mike. XX

Love them all, tall and small; Had been married; Child she carried; Will not fall, And did appall; In need dire; Joined the choir; With God perch; Went to church; And better yet, Never forget. Haille also has the South Carolina State symbol in her necklace.

I had the spelling wrong - it's Haley. She says she will campaign for Pres. Trump in 2020, but that could change. And I enjoyed your couplets too! Thanks for the visit, James!

Lovely set of couplets, Carolyn...ready for a win my friend...and take a hike, eh! lol...love & light...^WW^

Thank you, WW. Some of my friends are marveling at how quickly our graduating class is dying off now. I think Marianne's spirit has been offering comfort to all who mourn her.

...I hear you Carolyn...I am so sorry my friend, I had no idea...may the Angels comfort you, and heal you...love & internal light...^WW^

Thanks, Hon. After my illness it was more than a month before I could write anything again. These couplets were easy, but I'm still mourning Marianne's death and it's very difficult for me to write anything meaningful.
