Notes About The Poem

The Stumble and Rise Poetry Contest

The Stumble and Rise

Flaunting her flashy dress, went for the show
Careful of every step, she moved quite slow
Sadly, tripping on her skirt,
Fell flat, but feigned a show smart.
With a smile, began spinning on her toe.

I loved this limerick. She got up from a fall as if it is part of a dance. Blessings.

Dear Valsa, It's so clever and charming! I love the story it tells, especially the way the character turns an embarrassing moment into something graceful and beautiful. It's a wonderful message about resilience and style. Blessings, Valsa, Daniel
