Could He Cling

to a narrow plank his fingers clung hurled overboard by a storm that wrung the life from his companions would he slip or could he cling to this fragile thing ‘tween him and the unforeseen

So many of our lives vicarious and fragile, at times hanging on by the skin of our teeth. Resonates, Robert

outstanding rhymes and a compelling story within your poem. The answer to your questions depends upon how a person views themselves and the world. I'll say he'll cling. I imagine that's what you, too, would do. Strength and courage. Loved the inspirational message in your poem. Have a splendid day, Sara
