Beneath our hungry shore
between life and grass
more skin blossoms.
Leap off moon–
man is wild,
a gambol
song.
* My latest submission for the great gathering of international poets known as One Shot Wednesday. Short but sweet, and more than little cooky to more than a few of you, I’m sure, I give unto you “A Gambol Song”, my latest bit of free verse.
The Waking Den

I really enjoyed the lightness of this Chris…you’ve captured/released summer perfectly!
I’m leaping off the moon as we speak
Thanks Chris – it’s been a great year as a team
Hmmm..intriguing, really like the imagery ‘more skin blossoms’ – the moon imagery here, & this may just be me, you made me think both of the magical element of the moon ( ‘leap off moon’ ) but also, the more serious message about man being wild and rather reckless with this earth, and ourselves, umm..it’s almost like a reverse lunar landing, it just somehow brought man’s leap onto the moon, to my mind, & as something just wild that man did, without discernible benefit to ‘life’ and ‘the hungry shore’..so the gambol is therefore not really such a playful thing..or rather we should not gambol so lightly!
smiles. smells like joy to me…
Smells like teen spirit….*grins*
Leaping off the moon, great imagery and can be related to teh pic too, as it’s all great fun. Nice.
This made me smile. Love the picture, too. So fun to jump into life no matter the scrapes that come.
To gambol… is to live. Terrific little piece!
Indeed…for unlike “gamble”, “gambol” is playful…and what is life without a little silliness?
I agree with Claudia. This is excellent. Love the shore and grass,
You’ve folded our animal natures up nicely and wrapped the world and the moon with them. It’s good to gambol, as long as possible.
Set up with the image is perfect architecture, as other I particularly found delight in the “gambol” play. Wonderful write Chris and thank you for your kind words on my piece. I always appreciate you ❤ ~Rose
I am smiling…this is a delight!
This made me smile!
What can be freer than this! Life is a gambol and you are defying gravity. Love it! Gay
thank you for the {{{smiles}}}
Such a creative piece of writing – I want to jump off those steps too.
Nice work, Chris. You didn’t waste any words in this brief poem.
thanks for introducing me to a fantastic new word! Gambol…nice.
