Caught between the handrails of life

suspended above the path of my own choosing

I hear the words “step softly”

A rash reply teases my teeth

pushing against my tongue

heedlessly fleeing my lips

head over heels I fall

losing my path

the handrails of life just move away

unable to catch this fool

 

I did not do an exhaustive search, but I could not find a poetic term or form for the letter J. If you know of one, please enlighten us.

“No pen, no ink, no table, no room, no time, no quiet

No inclination.”

~ James Joyce (Brainy Quotes)

A Toast to – wine, women and … #poetry

“Ignorant fool”

she laughed

raising her glass

“will women never learn?

he loves the smorgasboard

taste this

feast on that

at evening’s end

he always goes home alone

to belch up his dessert

of red heads, blondes, brunettes

take it

all of them”

she flings the contents of her wine glass

to the silenced one

“you will need this”

she handed her the now emptied wine glass

“for your own tears”
