Jump Rope

by x Mo x   Jun 9, 2007


Have you ever jumped rope?
Then you know how it goes.
You turn a rope and jump
It's something everyone knows.

Well think of that game
As life as we know it.
I mean it's just the same
And it seems to fit.

The rope is like life
As we each take our turn
We jump and we sing;
We grow and we learn.

We jump until we can't,
And our legs start to give.
We jump out of the turns
And its no longer our turn to live.

~Pure boredom with too much on my mind.~

    "We jump until we can't,
    And our legs start to give.
    We jump out of the turns
    And its no longer our turn to live."

    The stanza mentioned above was quite provocative, at least, to me. Unlike the previous poems, I don't find this piece particularly funny or amusing, only the jump rope theme =P. For such a short, simple piece, it encompasses so much concerning Life... Hmmm, very nice work. :D 5/5 Debbie

    P.S. Thank you for the comments.
