Notes About The Poem

Dead Or Alive

Hi, I’d like to share with you,
Share a bit about my short little life.
Every day I ignore the rules you see, 
Merrily strolling on the edge of a knife.

If there’s a cliff to scale, tightrope to walk, 
Or a plane with an open door,
I’m there, the climbing, jumping, fighter, 
The real adrenaline junkie whore.

I’m the guy who lives by my own rules, 
Where laws of nature are of no concern.
I’m only really alive when I might be dead, 
My address is "Beyond the point of no return".

For the contest by Nicola Byrne, Point of no return
8th December 2016
Awarded 4th place

Freddie Robinson Jr. December 12, 2016 at 4:02 AM Fabulous poem, Lewis. Thrill seekers are addicted to the possibility that today might be a good day to die. Brilliantly expressed in your poem. Wish you well in the contest, my poetic friend. You have such interesting poem titles. I'm going to relish reading your impressive catalog of work. Much love to you and yours from RW (Romantic Warrior.)
