Bounce


I am but
a bouncing ball
when you drop me
yes I fall
but after the jolt
of descend
I shall bounce
back up again

Helen,
what a delightful comeback.

Well said! Excellent and relatable use of a metaphor. I love your writing style.
*ahem* and when can I buy your book of published poetry

Take care,
