Notice of absence from Doggerel Dave
Not absent - still here!
Keep Calm and Carry On Poeming. πŸ˜‚

It’s mindful movement,

Horizontal rock climbing

Which both win the day.

    You been watching those Olympics?

    • Doggerel Dave

      Thought I'd give the pole vault a go in the back yard.

      • orchidee

        To spy on neighbours over the fence....?

        • Doggerel Dave

          If I get my run up right I can land in the middle of their pool.

        • Neville


          More like a fakehu but very nearly spot on Dog ..
          Great timing tho' bro, maybe yo tryin too hard .. it's still brill mate & get's my πŸ‘πŸ‘up any day o the week .. Neville

          • Doggerel Dave

            Thanks Neville - I can do with the empathy.

            Now here is a mind boggler that I was not expecting. Be careful of slips on this horizontal surface that can result in nasty falls. Are you using crampons and rope? Loved this one Dave I feel like I'm doing this daily.

            • Doggerel Dave

              Yes Soren- It takes time and skills to learn not to fall over too often. Not glad, but certainly feel the difference that others might understand.

            • Bella Shepard

              Brave you my friend, I do my mindfulness stuff on the ground, and I can relate to your balance problems. I'm so glad that you won the day, and wish you many more to come. Just be very, very careful!!

              • Doggerel Dave

                Thanks Bella. I won THAT day. Got to keep alert as apparently gravity never sleeps.....
                Take care yourself - I can assure you that flying through the air is easy, it's the landing which can be a wee bit problematic....

                • Bella Shepard

                  But what a ride, eh!

                • Thad Wilk

                  Great haiku thank you!
                  Pole vaulting causes
                  minor balance βš–οΈ problems
                  to me, when I vault too.!¿😒

                  • Doggerel Dave

                    We can only try, Thad..................................

                  • Dan Williams

                    Talk about bare minimum. No wasted words from this chap. Well done.

                    • Doggerel Dave

                      Thanks Dan - Experimental really - might become a habit......

                    • Teddy.15

                      • Doggerel Dave

                        You Jest? I have, Teddy. Now all I must do is up my attendance rate to more that once every couple of months....

                      • NafisaSB

                        as long as you don't topple over, keep doing some pole vaults - will keep you informed of the going-ons around you..lol
                        grounded -yet down and not out...wow

                        • Doggerel Dave

                          Hello - how did you come to fall int this spot here, NSB? Are you keeping quiet about your parachute, designed to let you in slowly and gently?

                          • NafisaSB

                            have been busy with my family here on holiday with me...
                            am so grounded [bcos of age, or knee issues] that i need an air balloon to lift me - parachuted down way back...]
                            anyways have a safe and healthy time ahead - take care

                            • Doggerel Dave

                              Ah knees - nothing like a titanium knee, I'm here to tell you (or hip, for that matter.....)
                              Look after yourself.

                            • Thad Wilk
