Fly on the Wall

Fly on the Wall

If you dare
fly on the wall
and soar beyond
the corners.

Don't fret,
for if you fall
to the floor,
it's not a long
drop at all.

Get up.
Dust off
your wings,
and do it again.
Fly off the wall
pesky little house fly,
Fly on the wall,
and soar beyond the corners.
If you dare.

inspired by reading Emily Dickinson's poety.  I'm no Emily, but her writing makes me want to write poetry.
