Someone Elses Prompt....
pause
nothing good
starts with a
pause
with an instant
to steel or steady
to reason or reckon
nothing: no thing
good waits.
See, good plunges
forward.
like a
falling fool
like a puppy
without breaks.
like a
full frontal
hard -pressing -firmly
intent on a thigh.
good can't
take time
to breathe
let alone
think.
Such is
this rapid
fire we call
good.

Killing two birds with one stone...and after all, it is Thursday......and everyones over at jilly's

Such a joy to read...and :-)
The rhythm works so well with your words.
Glad your daughter is okay after this "first". I trust mother is as well.
this rapid fire

Fine poem! I forgot it was Thursday (I forgot TUEsday, too, but my keyboard been nutty and I couldn't have posted anyway.)
this part's really hot (after the full frontal stanza):
good can't
take time
to breathe
let alone
think.
This is a fantastic poem! I love it. I am green - I wish it was mine! ;)
'like a
falling fool'
Love it. So glad I found the Traveling Poetry show.
"Such is

i love this skinny poem. and oh, the full frontal stanza is hot! :P
Love it. It's so direct. I especially like your take on the word "good."
This is making me comb my brain for something good that begins with a pause...not finding anything. No thing. : )
Great observation well delivered.
