A Love Forboding
The chipped stone slope caused unbearable footing. I slid, skirting on my heels. I cast my shield, relinquishing my guard to stay upright. Left with my double-edge and a prayer to the maker, I skated toward my objective. The earthly stubble gave way to solid ground. I found myself restored, a trail of dust in my wake.

I agree with Matthew, points for using traipsing. Nicely done, Lamar.
Brilliant & Beautifully-written Lamar! 💪🏾
This is one to be remembered unless one has a bit too much. Good job.
Geez. Thoughts of Orion for the new year. This is lovely.

Well, at least it’s something different than thinking about the Roman Empire all the time. Great haiku, Lamar!
