All Falls

Ringa ringa roses etc
then all fall down
so do all kids

then we have Niagara
Falls
and
when guys grow bigger
night falls
and
when we fall out of love
everything crashes
and
falls

Kings fall
Queens fall
indiscreet women fall
stray guys fall
lovers and cheaters fall

what is this life for
if all are subject to
only
FALLS

liked the multiple falls you captured in this poem...however there is another side "rise" so it's not apt to say that everything falls in this world...

does rise as we learn with our woody bodies
but then all rises also
mostly end up in falls
either by corruption or interference
no one lets a risen one fly high and say
O help in his demise
ere he alone does rise
thanks for the immediate surprise
I take it as a prize

as you wanted me to do...here is my attempt to have a one liner for "fall"

F a l l is relatively the lowest point in a cycle from where to rise, like from ocean to clouds

raj (sublime_ocean)

superb
from where else can one rise;
after the night (does) fall

To fall is to lose control, like falling in love.

T

The most powerful reaction
of mind on mind
is transference of sight

every fall as a different meaning
