A Morning Run. Comments

'After that it was all uphill, passing a new retirement village, which I wanted to keep out of: I never slowed down to a walk. I strode along a flat easy street to the front door latch, breathless, but pleased when I glanced at the stop watch.' love the narrative style of this poem, the uphill to the new retirement village is a gem of a line with implied time definitions, the pause to glance at the clock, the end ritual differential adjusting the meaning feelings culminating in a split second summary of differing run routes taken

A power walk! With the muse of the day. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

The people and situations you pass while you're out there running do conjure up interesting thoughts which make fitness more exciting than in a gym...although stating that I have seen some eyebrow raising situations in the gym...lol. I enjoyed your poem Michael.

good variation on the list poem, Michael, plus a bit of humour, which goes down well

Wow..so amazing expression we find in this poem. Having glance of stop watch in sport is interesting. Nice sharing...10
