more on falling: what the roofer said

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Susan L Daniels

it is not falling
that we should fear, my dear one–
it’s the sudden stop

***Nelle, this one is for you, because your comment triggered a memory 🙂

      It was–just what you said in my other short poem triggered it–he said the part about not being afraid of the fall–just the sudden stop 🙂

      Thank you so much–this is really more of a found haiku, because the roofer shouted this down to me (minus the “my love” part) when I asked him if he was afraid of falling.
