Notes About The Poem

For Jami Patterson's “The Stumble And Rise” Poetry Contest

____________________________________________________________________________-

The Jig is On - spelling edit

When Anthony started to trip,
he turned it into a back flip.
He then finished big
by dancing a jig
and closed with a hop and a skip.
