The Ways in which We Move

A poem about movement in all its forms.

She spins on the ice
     They slip on the road
     He slides into home
Safe.
 
He runs to cover
     They run for cover
     She sings a cover
Sound.            
 
He jumps for joy
     She births a boy
     His life a ploy
Sorrow.

Amazing! I love the way it's syntaxed and rhythmed. We make different movements with respect to different situations. We slip, run, slide, jump, lunge etc.

Right, the human body can make so many different movements to the situation. I just find it interesting how everything that CAN happen is ALWAYS happening.

Thanks for your insightful review!
