Tread Lightly

by CJ Maleney   Mar 10, 2017


Measure your footsteps carefully
Be wary of where you tread
There are things that could be damaged
Beneath a heavy step

Don't always look straight ahead
But be mindful of your wake
Have a care for what you do
For things are prone to break

So rise up off your heels
And tiptoe on so sprightly
For they are hearts not stepping stones
Be sure that you tread lightly

    The rhymes in this piece stand out very clearly to me. I think it is because they work but they still feel a little forced - at least to me. Otherwise you have an interesting sense of message and voice established within this one. The lack of punctuation also speaks to me, but I am much more a fan of that than the rhymes.

    Nice to see you branching out with your formatting.

      Can't really say what was in my head when I wrote this, I was a little tipsy at the time.

      I just found it in my drafts so figured I'd post it

      In fact very tipsy
