Tip toeing on twisted footing


Tip toeing
By Francis Scudellari

Tip toeing a-n
Ever narrow
Edge, long strayed from
Others, main path

Distance reduced,
Pointed to/o vague
Shadows, resolved
Once, finite dot

Teetering on,
Waiting for, in-
Evitable
Seeming, to fall

But not stopping,
Hoping some (how?),
To sprout wings, find
A new way, Up

Ciao Hanna,
Thanks for the nomination. I appreciate it ... we'll see if I get any votes :).

Thanks JD. I wanted to see how many people could figure out it's just a foot ... well, not just a foot ;).

That sums it up.

Yeah, I think it quite coincidentally speaks to feelings you expressed in your last post.
