Tragically Ironic

She stumbles from the needle,
on life's ugly, jagged edge;
yet with gracefulness and beauty,
she leaps out from the ledge.
Form: Verse

Over the Ledge

Playing with fire
blissfully unaware
the loaded dice
dance in the hands
of those
whose push
will see me
over the edge.

Morose

Mine of mind
Morose of mope
Flailing through 
The torrent
Beside but never near
Perched upon
Window's ledge
Splintered soul

Premium Member Sign of the Times

He checked his coat and hat
   thought ‘That is that…’

When he saw the sign on the ledge
   ‘Remember to check your privilege’

wildflowers abound
   in places we may not see
      on a mountain ledge
   deep within a forest glen
 in nature's private gardens

Premium Member Bold Words, Written or Spoken

Using bold words written or spoken ~ cannot fix in you what's broken

Boldly bouncing back from the cliff's edge ~ will prove dangerous on any ledge

For William Wordsworth

Mind like a tendril green
In the inspiration of the sun
Climbing walls unseen
Where common daffodils run
On a ledge of heaven, the angels' form to ken.
Form: Verse

The Hour Late

Stepping off the ledge,
out of the fog
—I cast my fate

As time again dared,
all blinders off
—the hour late

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2016)

The Edge

Standing on the precipice
The edge of this life
The end of this path
Of this legend-less map
From the ledge, it's a sight
Take another step?
I just might

Have you ever reached out for something you knew you couldn't have
But you reached anyway? I have and I fell off the ledge
And hit every rock on the way down.

two steps forward
one step back

On the fringe of the brink on the brim.
The tip of the edge on the LEDGE 
A clip of the hedge.

Premium Member Lapse - Mar 4

A loathsome lecher lurks along the long,
Lightless ledge, looking to lure a lost lamb
To lewd license, liquor, and lowlife lurch—
To the lesser lying league and layer.

Premium Member Bird Tree Fish Sea

On the green hill
I could not see
The tree
For the birds
Beyond the rock
Ledge
I could not see
The ......fish
Abundance
Once was natural
Is now reduced
To memory.

Save Me

He ran off with my heart,
And I can’t get it back,
Now I’m stuck on a ledge,
And I’m about to fall,
Would you let me drop,
Or would you come back to me,
Save me my love.

Out of Breath

I ran till I was out of breath
and I know there's nothing left
it's called hitting the wall
now my love is on this ledge
didn't have the leading edge
never did if I recall

Premium Member I Have Dog Ears

dog ears I have
loud sounds are hell
heating duct blowers distract me
Ouch! Is that the sound of a bell?
music piped in puts me over the edge.
I am barely hanging onto insanity’s ledge.

Service Both Nervious and Impervious

Service Both Nervious and Impervious

What we found about Trump's service;
Knowledge of it has made us nervous;
On edge,
Near ledge;
Completely recalcitrant and impervious.

  I'll bring Sunflowers
  calling on you, Dear.
  Bouquet sworn vows
  until promises wear
  time's ragged edge
  begs my suicide flight
  from top floor ledge
  I miss tomorrow light.
