Poetic Asides wanted “spring” poems; Sunday Scribblings asked for “free.” A twofer! Amy
FREE AS A BOUNCING BIRD
Up – flying free
Down – springing back
Up by my toes
Down – springing back
Up, heaven knows
Down – springing
Up but not so well
Down – splat! on my fanny
Up a little
Down, Up, Down, spring, sprang, sproing – whew!

Definitely an ‘up’ (and down) kinda poem! Ah, the whimsical Amy!

Thought it was about time for something upbeat. I’ll never catch up to you, though! Amy

I had a feeling you would know… for me, it’s mostly about bouncing on my butt! 😉

I love this. It makes me smile thinking about my own trampoline experiences. And when the girls were little, I’d hold on to their hands, letting them bounce on a mini trampoline in the living room. My hubby asked why couldn’t we have fat lazy kids who just wanted to watch tv. haha!

Oh. that’s a great one, Debbie! I always wanted a trampoline, never had one, but we did it twice in gym class and I was in love!
