What an honor to have you use my form!! Thank you. When this challenge came on the other site I just passed over it - thinking there was no new form in me. Then I wrote that little ditty and realized what I had done - I had invented a form without real intention. LOL
Jim, maybe I'll follow your lead and write a "wolfie!" LOL. Naw, I'm really lousy at the short form. Liked Amy, I really liked the play of metaphor here. What is the metaphor, the acorn or the bomb. When we live in an age where perpetual war on terror with yet to be defined "enemies" and "axes of evil" are in the offing by Machiavellian leaders, I think the acorn works to drop the bomb. But it isn't my poem, and on another level I credit you for the bivalency here.
Hi John--Someday that tendency will probably come crashing down, but as our intrepid Admiral David G Farragut said, "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!"
Insightful thoughts, John, worthy of much consideration. Thank you.
" . . . little devils" is so apropos, Liz; they land and roll, then stopped, lay in wait as nice little "whoo-hoo" trip hazards.
'Ol swayback, eh. I love this little tandom tail dragger. Your response to the incident should net you with a Red Baron flying scarf, Liz--a strip of colored silk that can snap its pleasure in a high wind. You've got the spirit of flight and it shows with each passing "event." May your mags always give you the right answers and the tetrahedron point the way to softer landings than you describe.

Wolfie, see what you've done by creating "The Wolfie". Good job, and thank you. They're fun to write.
I'm with you, Brandea, they're worse than birds! Thank you.
I hear ya, d m., Wolfie has gone and done "The Wolfie"!
John, I'm still laughing at the score.
Thank you, Amy!
Thanks, Mark--acorns drop from the tree only to be picked up again by squirrels and stuffed in a hollow spot somewhere up the tree!
Of course, Leslie! Always! Thanks for your comment. :-)
