Under punishing pain I keep the pace. I am at one with the distance. Legs two relentless pistons. Arms two pendulums swiveling from their well-lubricated sockets. Lungs two powerful bellows feeding the blast furnaces of my relentless dreams. [This message has been edited by Radrook (11-16-2002 01:16 AM).] |

I loved this. The description was vivid, and the last line filled it all with meaning.  Thank you. Kielo According to statistics, a man eats a prune every twenty seconds. I don't know who this fellw is, but I know where to find him. |

I ran out of breath, arms and legs spiralling frantically towards the couch.  |

I felt the same as Kacy...HeeHee!! I felt exhausted. That's the point to poetry, though, isn't it? To make the reader "feel" what you've written down. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing what one can do with the simple punishment of running...Did I say punishment? Yeah, those pistons that need oiling and the blast furnace that needs stoking with more coal... Thanx for this, good metaphors... |

Yes, but there is nothing like a runner's high! Don't think you get it with this kind of running, though! (smiling) My legs muscles are burning. I must go rest, too. This is great! Warm Regards, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

 (big huggggssssss) Oh Radrook, keep running, sweet friend, may that second wind lift you up so you'll be running on air rather than in Adidas, this is excellent, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Radrook, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
