Enough light to see the path; enough courage to take the step; enough sense to enjoy the walk; enough company to share the time.

I Promise



I don't know how you missed it. 
I know you remember seeing it,
but I suppose you became distracted
by the others around it.
I wish you would write your own—Ha!
Doubt that'll happen, but maybe...
Promise not to laugh
at my most inept way of writing
poetry.
Ever.







Samantha Gluck shared this Brian in the Comments on "Watch for Falling Girls." Thanks for letting me share it, @TexasCopyWriter!

  1. Wow! Thank you, Kathryn, for turning my awkward words and phrases into an elegantly organized poem (elegant for me, at least). I'm impressed with myself ;-) -->but mostly impressed with you, my sparkly sistah!

  2. Gentle Readers: In case you missed it— A "Brian" is a short-form story of exactly 50 words, with a title up to 15 words, which occasionally requires some acrobatic wordplay. Also called a mini-saga (or 50-word fiction), the Brian is named for British author Brian Aldiss and is popularized in competitions held by The Daily Telegraph newspaper of London. It is most often in prose-form. You can add your own Brian here in the comments!
