• What I see : a guy falling down the stairs
• What I feel : must have been all dressed up and excited for an outing until the incident, but my concern is ; what's his response to the fall.
And great was the Fall.
Was getting elated
Having rosen to an height
Felt like he'd finally made it
And then he fell
And great was the fall.
Bag of pride in the air
Sunglasses threw shades at him,
The pit ready to receive him.
Blue to the marrow.
His feet knew how to be in sneakers,
But the fall was too loud to be clandestine,
His ankles might be covered by insurance,
But his heels where going down the hills.
He was on shorts,
Now he's short of words to the knees.

Seems you are good with poem and words. I appreciate that fact the fall was a great one. No one is exempted from it. but he should be more careful next time.
Infact i am really emotional just to see him and say sorry. thanks for sharing your ideas.
Thank you for the compliment.
"The pit ready to receive him -- blue to the marrow" -- he was hurt badly, and perhaps more -- that reminded me of that last scene in the opera Don Giovanni, in which the title character often falls into the pit of Hell! This is a good story -- kinda scary, but it makes the point!
Glad you could draw insight from my little piece.
Thank you.
The last two lines are rhyming well. It was definitely a great fall for the well dressed guy.
Thank you for the kind words
Nice
Thank you

I would't call that guy well dressed but I love the playing with words.
