Razor wire
A forbidding fence, Morelia, Michoacán, México
 


Who can slither through
deadly concertina strands
without being scratched?

      “interesting”? Personally, I don’t like it all that much! I found it difficult to “picture” agile without actually using the word. I don’t think I succeeded!

    Who indeed? You would have to be agile to manage that feat.

    It is the “who” indeed that calls the agility –

    A very different interpretation – shows your agility of mind!

    Can’t think of anyone. Although I’m curious to see a snake try.

    This would be enough to keep me confined!!! Great shot n prose to go with it!

    A very different take on agility. Is that a prison wall?

  28. Kathy | September 7, 2012 at 7:51 am

    Not the kind of fence I would want to cross!

    Like many others who have commented, I wouldn’t even dare to try to slither through those strands!
