A Katie 21

A chapter in the book Little Poems

To the Top

by Treischel



I shall scurry
Up the hill
On hands and knees
If necessary
Though sand delays
My ascent
I'll gain the top







This is a shot of my grandson, Jeremy, climbing up a sandstone cliff at Dayton's Bluff along the Mississippi River beds near St. Paul. I missed the deadline for the Katie 21 contest, but here is one by me inspired by this photograph.

This poem is a Katie 21.
A Katie 21 is a Free Verse poem that contains exactly 21 words, no more, no less. Rhyming is optional. There are no guidelines for the number of lines or specific meter. The poet is free to improvise, but the lines are typically short.

The photograph was taken by the author himself.
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
