I had an idea about writing about an object falling off something and hitting the ground a few days ago but I didn’t get around to doing anything until now.

I’m not sure if this gets enough of that idea across, but I like the imagery.

I hope you enjoy.

Almost steadily placed
Or that is how it would seem
Soon on a journey
It shall embark

Idle chatter
Belies a mistake
And soon to the air
It moves within

Toward a surface
It must approach
Through no choice it made
It’s conclusion seems set

Much faster than expected
It meets the surface
And through contact
It breaks itself
