Can anyone C/C A Slip From the Future?
A Slip From the Future
Stepping stone to stone,
the water cold and clear.
I find myself upon my back,
grinning ear to ear.
My crossing, a near success,
but for a future plan,
Strayed from the task at hand,
to devise a bridge's span.
A true shortcoming, designing a better way before I complete the one I'm on.
I love puns.
I would not have been grinning either.

I try to plan and organize but I slip on stones often. I like the part about grinning- better to have humor which at times I lack. You have a knack with light-hearted humor from what I've read of your poetry. I often read but don't comment on all I've read. You seem to have a natural gift towards the sunny side, people need that.

Long legs do not make a bridge without the "guide" ropes! lol Fun twist on a simple crossing gone awry although with humor awry!

clever and actually seems quite sincere, I almost got some very clear images but the sound of the water distracted me...
