The Race, the poem that gave me my start.

nice one KB

KB, strangely, I was reminded of Jim Thorpe when I looked at your avatar and read your poem. Yes, each of us is afraid to assume the lead.
But, my friend, the way IS clearly marked. We just tend to ignore the signs.

Incidentally, I ran with you.

Welcome, InjunKB!
The race is something we are all familiar with, yet you described it with your own voice, making it new territory to be explored.
I hope hear more from you.

This was an actual race on a foggy October morning
I set the allegory apart in the last verse. But, thank you. I will be posting more.
