Falling Down the Well
By Ricky Garni
singing a song
of secrets
you made up
on the way down
a nice ride…
Thank you!
I love this poem. It is difficult to say why in clumsy prose that cannot do justice to such a short cipher that is so long on mystery. If someone today asks me what is poetry, I will show them your 15 words.
I like this!
I love succinct writing and when you can do it in poetry it makes us want more.
