This tired old foot
Placed just before the other
Leads to journey’s end

That tired old foot
Steps closer than its brother
To the journey’s end

The great mountains loom
Growing larger each step each day
Summer will end soon

Arriving in Autumn
To start a different way
To where each foot comes.

Gloom

Prof.....I agree with "Sigh"....hell, there are alot of times...(Usually on Friday and Saturday nights), that I have to think about which foot goes next...and it doesn't always work well?...I remember one time getting pulled over by the law, many years ago, told me to walk this little white line, I told him I didn't know if I could but if he'd roll up a dollar bill I could probably snort that sucker, he didn't have the slightest bit of sense of humor.....this is a fine write gloom...

Professor,
   I liked the way you kept a nice slow meter and your word choice.  Always a pleasure to read your poetry (Gee, I hope this is not the end of the Zs! He is a perfect fit for you and your wandering and observing eye.  Matter-of-fact, I had wondered if someday you would put these in a book.

Thank you, Seymour,
I suppose it really doesn’t matter
The end will eventually get there for boot feet

Thank you, Toerag,
I have had a few meetings with the police,
But each time have found them professional if somewhat humorless.
I hope you have fewer encounters nowadays
Pleased you enjoyed

Thank you, Sadelite
I will have several more in the series, I am sure,
As for a book, I doubt if it would be viable enough to be done.
Glad you are enjoying

You're welcome Gloom, yea I behave now-a-days....and, they were professional, just humorless?...Of course, if I had to deal with people like me day in and day out, I'd lose my sense of humor pretty quickly too...

Toerag,
I think I speak for most in the hope that
You never lose your sense of humor

Gloomyone~

I didn't forget about these...just busy for a bit...

one foot in tune with the other...

please don't use the word "end"...not just yet.

Professor, not only did I enjoy the senryus, but the repartee in between, as well.  One could say you are even a bit chatty... ...and on you, it brings a smile.
