Walker, Take Care -- a Poem for Sundy Muse -- and a Goodbye Note
Tight Rope Walker
Mr. Tight Rope Walker, hear
Beware the lying big hawk
He's a liar through and through
He'll lead you to destruction
A terrible fall he wants
Wants you to crash, you could die
He holds the end of your rope
Clutching with his tiny claws
Getting tired he leads you on
Remember what you have learned
Keep your fate in your own hands
That's our trade's unwritten rule
You did well in rope walking
Class of Flying Trapeze School
Jumpers should pack their own chutes
You've no chute Walker turn back

- I am linked with Carrie for the prompt picture at the top, for the Sunday Muse # 259 at https://thesundaymuse.blogspot.com/2023/05/sunday-muse-259.html
- The bottom photo was taken at one of my visits to the Regents Park in London. We went often when our daughter took her family and went there for her work. She stayed five years, her company paid flat was within walking distance of this park and Beatle territory, Paul McCartney lived one block from her flat in his own house.
- We all like Carri and thank her for her serving her for such a long time. However, Carrie has decided to shut down the Sunday Muse after next week, making 260 weeks this blog has run. I probably will not write anymore Sunday poems after next week.
My two other weekend blogs are a meme type post on "Jim's Little Blog" click here, and on this blog for "Friday Writings" which is for poetry and prose type writings. Sometimes I write casually, during the week with free or prompted poems for "dVerse", https://dversepoets.com/ . They will appear on this blog as I write.
At Christmas time I plan to keep up my "jim's little Christmas tree farm" posts, starting a few weeks before Christmas. I also have there recipes and other stuff now and then. Then too, this will possibly free me up for more often posting a Q&A blog, "Ask Dr. Jim (blog)"
- GOODBYE CARRIE,
we have enjoyed your work products. Please keep our URLs on your
list and come visit and/or write with us when you can.
THANK YOU
so very much!!

Good advice. When one is being led to a great fall, best to turn back.
Wisdom to listen to in your lines here Jim! I love where the image led you and where you are leading us.
This feels like yelling advice at the TV screen, helplessly warning a character about to come to a bad end. :) A great poem to remember as one steps out of the door.
Great poem, I love where you took us 🙌
Those huge hawks are indeed frightening ... Mr. Tightwalker is doomed.
Hopefully Mr. Tight Rope Walker heeded your advice!
Danger ahead! The idea is to play safe to play another day. Love your poem Dr Jim!

Def be careful of those who lead you astray. Perhaps, the hawk knows a thing about balance. We will def miss the Sunday Muse...~ Truedessa
