Leap Year Day
by Kristina WoodhillFebruary 29, 2020
Leap
Leap leap
frog
kangaroos flee infernos
rabbits out looking for lucky feet
crickets peek out of cracks, wait for April
fleas' tiny leaps make tiny poofs
on backs of furry coats, oh, drat
whined the cat; oh, god, growled the dog
lovers choose whoopee instead
ballerinas push off with aplomb,
firmly grasping gravity's handle bar
long ago a cow showed astronauts how
a bungee cord of love might save some
wingsuit flyers all should have strong wills
conclusions consumed extra Wheaties,
added cushioning and sumo stances,
opened for business
and braced themselves

A power play that deserves its overtime... |
