Top of the World

I run up the steps..
                                            jumping over the pitfalls..
                                                then wink at the sun..

Hi Michael, I just entered your 'Double Tetractys' contest with my poem titled "sad". I'm not sure if I did it correctly as I didn't have my name on it the first time I tried. I removed the poem, put my name on it, and re-tried. Hopefuuly it came through and you know it's from James Rasmusson, MeanderthalMan.
