The man on top of the mountain did not fall there
So I, this contradiction of will and water
aust find another way
My high-minded principles spell success, yes
But my low-minded opinions spell
the sorts of things
a lady shouldn’t know
Change can hurt, but it leads a path to something
better, he says
watching rocks tumble tremble, trip gaily down the
sloping sides
I guess I never liked that tree, but
this wanton destruction seems…
Anyway, land is always on the mind of a flying bird
Sky is always on the mind
of a creature so root-bound as I
But even rocks can fly, given
the right momentum
The challenge for this day was to use fortune cookie fortunes in some way, so I looked up a bunch and sprinkled them through my own writing. Even the title is lifted directly from a fortune cookie! Also I know I'm horribly behind, so expect a lot of frantically written poems over the next couple days.
