Comment from Lucy de Welles

Excellent

Clever, well-constructed pun poem fun. Subject lends itself well to this style of story telling. A joy to read. I'm laughing. Admire the smooth way the thoughts melt into each other and then, with Miss Fortune, drip down into the gravity of the situation.
Well done!
Lucy

This is a true cliff hanger poem, LisaMay. You used all the words effectively and cleverly. I can't decide which line was the most clever. My favorite one though is "This is knot funny,' because it isn't. Well done. Nancy:)

Wow, that is a very complex story with an unexpected twist. Elements from nature meets the resilience of the climber who tumbles down in the warm embrace of fate.

Is this an entry in a pun contest? Ha ha.
At first I thought it might be a true incident that somehow turns out alright in the end. But then, I've always been told I'm gullible.
Seen in the light it was meant to be, your poem is amusing and fun to read.
I like it all but the "If we were boulder" is my favorite line.
Thanks for the early-morning smile.

LisaMay,

I have to think this is make-believe. But it was FUN! I liked all the references to the art of rock-climbing - something I have never tried, but looks amazing! Thanks!

Oh double entendre, thy name is Lisa. She really had bad luck and was unable to abseil herself of any jug handles. If her friend Cara'd been here it wouldn't have happene she promised to come but got unavoidably belayed.

Brilliant review - abseil, jug handles, carabiner, belayed - are you a rockclimber yourself?

reply by Pantygynt on 11-Dec-2020

Not out of choice but I had to do a bit in the Royal Marines. I am pleased you got the carabiner. Lol

Comment from Sandra du Plessis

A very well-written 5-7-5 suite about Mad Fortune who meets her fate when she hangs on a cliff and ignored the advice of experts to get herself out of this dire situation.
