More than Five Times


I am not an avid Poetry prompt writer. But being not yet sleepy, I checked out the PAD challenge for today April the 26th. Only 4 more days of Poetry Month left.

Today's prompt "more than five times":


More than five times around

this block would be a mile.

Six times footing the mall's

indoor walking path.

Eight times the oval at the Civic Center.

Four times prancing in front

of the bleachers at the football field.


Time to walk, jog, hop, dance into shape.

Do it more than five times a week.

Skip, jump, run, cycle

hitting your stide mile after mile.

And it won't hurt a bit

if you quirk a smile

when someone you may know

whistles at your departing behind.
