Rope. Poem by Geoffrey Fafard

Rope.

Rating: 4.6


ROPE.

Along the road of sin.
Lots of rope he carries
All he needs, silly boy,
Is enough to hang himself
- - - - -
Along the road of hope
She wished and hoped
And hopped about
Wishing and hoping
Just the ticket for little girls
With skipping ropes
- - - - -
The monsoon has come
I have a tent
I have some sturdy trees
Down it pours
Alas no rope have I
To secure one to the other
- - - -
You have tied my wrists
But not my will
You have made me angry
I want revenge because
The rope has burnt my skin
- - - - -
Soon I will be rid of trouble
Soon I will be on my way
The climb out may make
Me weary and worried
You see the ladder is made
Of rope…..
