BorderLines

We tend toward the edges,
we run the fence line.
We test all the boundaries
that limits define.

Despite all our questions,
the answer we lack,
does the fence keep us in
or hold something back?

Author notes

I used the fenceline prompt because my grandpa had a farm in Iowa, and I always walked the fenceline with him as a young boy. picture and quote by: me. Kevin Pace WordsDoMatter

    this one.

    Short and sweet

    Short yet powerfully good. You are a gifted and talented writer so I'm glad I hopped the fence to see.

    What a great write... I like your take on the prompt. It's so cool that you have that kind of a memory of your grandpa. Best of luck in the contest and in future writing. Have a Happy New Year.

      thanks

      yes, he created some cool ones with me... check out "A Farmer by Trade" or "The Liar's Bench" if you are interested in some more "life lessons" from grandpa. thanks - Kevin
