And here are the poems!
Watch your step
you never know where they go
way down
into depths of despair
— Anne McKenna
Watch Your Back
Planks remain bare
Poisonous vines
don’t tread visible paths
They climb directly
into your heart
–Laura Purdie Salas
Conquering
Breath catching
Heart palpitating,
searching depths
Mastering fear,
Take a step!
been afraid too long
— melissa
I’m so glad
I’m not Jimmy Stewart
In that movie
VERTIGO
Instead,
Here I go!
— slatts
The view–spectacular!
But now….
Spinning, spiraling….
Where’s Jimmy Stewart
when you need him?
— Kathy Q.

Round
and round
redwood tight-gripped
I wish
life
had so graceful
a bannister.
— sartorias
Wasn’t sure
where I was headed.
Pick a card,any card.
Life’s a gamble.
— Martha Calderaro
Round and round
One step down.
Round and round
Two steps down.
All around. Ground.
— Louise Henriksen
July 9 Post – 15 word poem
Cycles, circles go around,
Until the way of dusty death and ground.

Each day
fans out
from Summer
separate
but connected
in their uniformity
of season.
— Diane M. Davis
Steps too narrow.
Feet too long.
Thanks–
I think I’ll stay
up here.
— Cynthia Cotten
Board
Board, so bored,
with the same steps.
Time to stop looking back and go up.
— Sue Douglass Fliess
The Board Monster
Board monster’s here.
Couldn’t nail him down.
It spins wooden paddles
spanking kids in town.
— Joyce Lansky
Here I stand at the top of the stairs
Wondering which way to go.
— Barbara Van Deusen
the body falls
into an upturned truth
its been waiting to meet
all its life
— Shutta Crumm
I absolutely LOVED these!!! the powerful and perfect image captured in that photograph definitely helped the flow of words and the imagination!! Wonderful way to start my Friday. I’ve enjoyed this post!
Oopps, forgot to include my id with the last comment!
I do think it’s a great way to start a Friday. I’m glad you enjoyed them.
Fabulous way to start my Friday. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for reading. Some of the people are really talented. (and some of the people are really slow to post replies, like me…yikes!)
Interesting how many of the poems were about fear!
There were a lot of fear based poems, weren’t there? (Sorry for the delay and I have been missing your blog. Need to get caught up soon.)
Darn I missed Poetry Friday again. Oh, well those that didn’t wrote some very nice poems. Loved the picture-prompt.
I miss Poetry Friday a lot lately. I’m going to try and get back on track but you know, we only have so many hours in our days.
