My Steps Have Lost Their Bounce

Comment from Therese Caron
This is a beautiful poem, words flow, the rhyming pattern is very good, and it is very true of real life. It is amazing how much grey skies and too much to do can take the bounce out of your step. Luckily it comes back (for now anyway!). Nice job!

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I lost my bounce a long time ago! Lol, I enjoyed your kyrielle, it's not an easy form to write, I know I've tried and failed dismally, but I have a suggestion which you can toss in the bin if you want. Good luck in the contest!! :)) Sandra xx
Perchance have you ever been blue?
The sky is grey, you are tired too. (I wondered if you had: 'You're tired too' it would fit the rest of the lines of 8 syllables.)

This is an excellent poem. However, your line in the last stanza at the onset of dusk seems to have 10 syllables. Maybe you could fix it for
the contest.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written Kyrielle poem with a great repeating line. Never worry about the things that we cannot get done, there may be someone else that can finish the job, do your best until your steps lost their bounce.
