But its demise is now on the brink
Whether to keep it or let it go

And so, 
this poem is made-
in so many words,
entwined on lines
living on the brink
of a couple of margins
until it comes to a complete stop.

standing on the brink 
                          of eternity
I put back the blade

to read the word again

Trump Raising A Stink

Should see Trump  raising a stink;
Losing his mind he is on the brink;
Lost grip;
Out did flip;
In genes they found a missing link.

Premium Member Poet On the Brink

denial of culpability
relationships gone
love forsaken
sit and write
endless words
anger unleashed
forgiveness begged
abstract concepts
random rants
filling space
why?
does anyone care?

Am Tired Today

Such a tiring day
Am tired today
Boredom is the tragedy of life
Emotions are brought on the brink of strife
A beautiful wife
It's not suffice in life
All that we simply need
Being creative a sort of greed..

Techno Take-Over

TECHNO TAKE-OVER

Technology says we’re on the brink
of human assistance being extinct
our jobs robots will do
fake people serving you
freakishly knowing each thought we think

Premium Member That Hilary

When you’re writing ‘bout Hilary Duff, then you know that your life’s pretty rough. Seems the world’s on the brink, but you sit here and think ‘bout avoiding the filters with 'mough'.

Devil Defeated

Scared to tell Mom what to think
Even though I'm on the brink!

I'm so confused; who's in charge?
The devil is still at large!

A mission to subdue
Whatver makes me blue!

Turn pain into joy
Brain is not a toy!
Form:

Unwilling

I can never fully relish in anything good 
I'm too afraid of it being ripped away from me 
I'm always on the brink of it all
The almost almost almost.
Not open but not closed.
Not white but not black.
Not mine but.

Premium Member I Devour My Food

I devour my food
not in dainty bites
Slicing it savagely
with my tiny babyish teeth
guzzle my drink 
a glutton I am
living life on the brink
of enjoyment 
showing off my long teeth roots
and my tiny gnashing power
