Nice! i like the way you described the hands motioning toward each other until clapped. While i read your poem i could see the hands closing in slow motion in my head. Great poem aboutpaydayloans's last blog post..Payday Loans|True Stories From The Other Side

Really interesting, Travis. It made so much more sense once I knew it was about clapping ;) . I like the implied contradiction in one grinning while their hands are red and stinging. The Blogger Exposed's last blog post..It's Official: Atheists Should Not Be Parents

Thanks, “Unskilled Poet,” I’m glad you like it. I thought this was the perfect time to use some onomatopoeia’s. It was kind of difficult to decide just which one to use though. I enjoyed pointing out that clapping seems like it might be a primitive behavior as it can also be found in apes and our ancestors.

Nice!! I love the use of onomatopoeia and the clever way you've broken down the action of clapping into the most basic elements - the air gliding through fingers, the joy one feels at creating sound. Thank you for joining in! The Unskilled Poet's last blog post..Daily Spark Word: Clap
