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.

Thank you rod.
Comment from Joan E.
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

Comment from tfawcus
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'.
