This is my first attempt at micro-poetry (poetry in 140 characters or less). Hope you enjoy!
She trips and falls
Yet she keeps her head high
Clutching on to whatever she can
Trying to be dignified
Who knew a sari could be so troublesome?
A sari is a traditional Indian garment which is elaborately draped around one’s body. I recently wore my first sari and this is basically how it went. But I still felt ‘graceful’!

Really well written! I like how you have managed to both convey your message and leave it open-ended so that the audience can make its decisions on the topic ! Good job

The length of the last line doesn’t quite gel with the rest of the piece for me but other than that I really like the amiable nature of the piece. It’s a lovely little snapshot into your life.

Thank you for your generous feedback! I appreciate it! But I thought that the inconsistent structure of the last line would help emphasise the twist…
