Analysis of Searching For Some Minnows
I've fallen out of trees, I've fallen out of windows
Fell backwards down a waterfall searching for some minnows
I've fallen off of rooftops, fell feet first into a well
I've fallen up and down the stairs, don't ask and I won't tell
I seem not to fall as much when staying on solid ground
It's not that far to fall to and no airtime going down
There are times I have fallen repeatedly going into and out of
The most painful pain of all the pains as I fell in and out of love

About this poem
The title is the main reason I wrote this poem. I thought this has got to be the beginning of a great poem. I just started writing about all the times I have fallen.
