On the Brink
Far from mortal danger
 cowards do not blink,
  only showing their color
   when right on the brink!...

Daylight savings time was for farmers
But its demise is now on the brink
Whether to keep it or let it go
I wonder what Big Ben workers think?...

I've way too much time to think,
Little did you ever know, I'm on the brink,
Between the inanity of isolation
And the beckoning of liberation....

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....

Premium Member Indecision
standing on the brink 
                          of eternity
I put back the blade
                          of indecision
to read the word again...

Ancient moon gets caught,
       Clings and hovers on the brink 
              Of a spellbound tide

Trump Raising a Stink
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.

Easy on the eye

The olive branch
In the nature of all living things

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

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
