Poem #8, PAD Challenge 2009

Today's Prompt is to write about a specific routine or routines. This was another tough one for me, but here's my attempt:

Exercise

Get up, get down
Step up, step down
Hike up, walk down
Moving in this motion
Just to get the heart pumping.
There must be a better way.
Aerobics for an anaerobe.
Dressed in sweats, ready for the afternoon
sweat pours down
as my feet hit the floor or the plastic mold.
Techno music with drum beats
in time with my steps:
Up, down, up, down, up.
Too bad the fat doesn’t sloth off with water.


What did you write today?

Good for you for pulling this off, Serena! I walked today and my old butt was not in the mood but I went because my old butt needs to walk.

I struggled with this one, too. Just posted mine.
