Slippery Slopes

Sliding down the



slippery slopes



daring  to hang



without the ropes



taking risks on



wheels of fortune



conjuring new ways



to sing a tune



hang glide or



coaster ride



eager to fly



windsurf and



ocean dives



soaring the sky



skipping on ice floes



riding the rails



wherever love goes



there is a cost



how many ways



to lose yourself



without getting lost

Ah those blissful moments that remain under control. I've wandered lost several times in my twenties. Remembering back always gives me mental cramps.

The format reminded me of reading words on a hose.

Good thoughts here, penned with "curious" expertise dear one.

Oh that slippery slope of life...it takes us along kicking and screaming sometimes and diving full tilt the next...

Great poem...

Eileen

Reminded me of that glorious Paul Simon's Classic " Fifty Ways to Lose your Lover "...

I felt like I was tumbling reading your downward spiral of words..

Amazing format

Love and Prayers

Very interesting, Tiger Lily - and what would life be without some risks involved - pretty boring probably.

Judging by the comments below, looks like it is a cost quite a few are willing to, even temporarily, forfeit! :)) Ah, the heady intoxication of the Secret of Flight... even if it is proven to be all fancy. Your form definitely points up the downside of this lovin rollercoaster ride, but the sentiments speak of all the Hollywood Great Romances, which make for all the drama and adrenalin flow. Tis a tightrope-walk, tis so true - between risk and dare; challenge and conquest; right and wrong: it puts me in mind, topically, just at the moment, of the harrowing story of Johnny Cash and June Carter in "Walk The Line". Your short lines and exciting imagery are just right to create that thrill of "all the fun of the fair" that is the common experience of the bloodrush of love. Very well done. TY Kate xx

It is when you are done experiencing life and grow complacent that one begins to age and thus begins to die

100's and 100's of ways,
and I'd just as soon spend my days;
doin just that,wherever love goes
there is a cost,
but oh so much cheaper than,
all that time mopin,I,
woulda lost.
