Very interesting. You, more than any other poet on this site, go out of your way to embrace new poetry formats. I love the history behind this style.

Good message, Tom: Grab for the knot!

A new format--short but to the point. Climbing upwards before you fall off the rope. A positive poem that gives one hope that not all is lost in the midst of calamity and desperation. Well done, Tom.

Thanks you sharing another form you discovered. I thought at first the picture referred to the old expression, "Give a man enough rope to hang himself," but I was soon disabused of that thought and picked up the more inspirational meaning! Indeed, it does take fortitude to climb out of a bad situation. Cheers- Joan

This is an interesting format. I can see why it would be such a popular format with the women of Afghanistan as they are short and easily memorized. It is fun to see you trying ne formats. I hope you find it as mind stretching as I find trying new formats. Patricia

You certainly find some interesting poetic forms, Tom. The background notes to this one are fascinating. One sometimes forgets what a powerful vehicle poetry can be to keep the human spirit alive in oppressive circumstances. I like the lightness of your poem. One can almost see the fatalistic shrug of the shoulders accompanying the 'Oh my' and the 'OK'.
