It never towed the car but
Man, it’ll stretch a neck

No problem.

Hi Kris

This is a great little poem about rope. Was this inspired by dill's dive from the tower?

Nice to see an original cheese-free, cliche-free poem on the forum.

Thanks Cam,

It definitely has suicidal tendencies, lol.

camus my boy,

the last line is a killer - very very funny

i laughed very loud with this one!

good flow of images - compact taut ( and terrific ! lol ) - well done here

your sardonic humour balances the whole poem - defintetly no philadelphia cheese nor clumpy cliche

maybe you should write humour more often ?

Hm I don't know. I liked your whale poem better.

[camus]

what whale poem?... trip... and... bump.

Camus,
A turtleneck sweater will do the same without the pain
Liked it for it's brevity and long line of words (such as a rope). To the point--I much like 'hard twanged' and delicious ending..., maybe "escape rope" too obvious but never the less likeable here.

Cheers,
Julia

Thanks guys.

I've been digging old poems up to record for my website, so I unscrupulously bumped this.

Your feedback is more than appreciated - it is.

cheers

The stretching of the neck certainly grasped my attention, But I liked

hard twanged

if you follow sound.

Gave me an image of the Rolf Harris playing the rope guitar.
