Anyone reading my poems is familiar with my Mishap Series. It runs every so often within the larger work. I am poking fun at myself about "situations" that have occurred throughout the years. It is my light hearted way of acknowledging, through laughter, all of the ridiculous things that I've done.
Cliff
Should have stayed on marked path
Instead of prohibited route
Tobogganing with family
From behind they all shout
First run picked up speed
Hit the flat and we sailed
Second run even steeper
Uncontrollably wailed
Out of control sled
From second flat, airborne
Ending unconscious
Hazard signs did warn
Awkwardly angled leg
It looked wrongly bent
Awaking was painful
Injury ends event
I return to the house
Knee's huge and makes noise
Emergency room trip
Toes to hip, cast annoys
