My descent from grace
is slow; hesitant wings.
Life settles on me
like a wasp and stings.

I always loved your mini-poems and this is no exception! Perhaps you could try a haiku?

Thanks for the comments guys. I have not done any of these little poems for a while now- but this just came to me after disposing of a wasp-corpse (poor thing lol) that I found on my window ledge.
Magic: I might try if I am feeling brave sometime lol- would be a completely new experience for me.

I have read a lot of these short poems and this is one of the best. To make the content interesting and even make sense is hard - they are seldom this good. Love it; it is a skill and I look forward to more.
