Written for: The Twiglets #97 – “rise and fall”
rose up too quickly
down-quilted in a deep sleep
fell off bed
Look at that soufflé rise!
Watch that soufflé f

a golden sunrise
on a russet Autumn day
is a promise.
Her rise to fame
blasted off
like a rocket. Her
fall from drugs aborted
her dreams.
There once was a woman from Maine
who did not trust the rise of a plane
seemed to her it would fall
like a deflated beach ball.
She took train which derailed. Now she sits home with a cane.
This is simply breathtaking:
“a golden sunrise
on a russet Autumn day
is a promise.”

And the Limerick – I just visited family first leg had a stop and switch, at least the return was non- stop.
Alan Shepard said; “Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.”
My hubby added; “being able to reuse the plane is great.”
