What comes back

Up & down

By Franky Carter AppleseedPublished about 16 hours ago 1 min read
¡Whapa!

the tension on my back tightens

My arm extends backwards

My focus is heightened

I lean into the throw

-

With percussion and power

Trust and proper force

I throw the boomerang

And watch it take its course

-

It departs my grip

As the tension in my arm is released

It breaks away and soars

And begins to fly into a dip

As it stretches and breathes

It begins to turn

As it spins and twists freely

-

It cuts through the air

And spins back toward me

It snaps as I catch the fair throw

Smiling, as I get ready

For the next pivotal sling.

For Fun
