NaPM April 2 2014

[ellajam]

double dutchin’ on the street
jumping to a steady beat
chanting names to keep in time
showing off our knack for rhyme
counting on our closest friends
to anchor down the turning ends
concentrate and watch the spin
timing’s vital to jump in
keep your pace until legs ache
change positions for a break
listen to your thumping heart
catch your breath and then restart

While I read this I felt a childlike bounce in your meter to accompany the topic. Beautifully done.

Thanks, it was a fun prompt. Feel free to jump right into NaPM, the ropes are turning.
