Life At The Edge
Life at the edge is sometimes an exciting place to be
Full of adventure, direction and challenge
Life at the edge can be a lonely place to be
Full of fear, isolation and unwanted solitude
Life at the edge brings the opportunity to push the boundaries
To go further than anyone else, to explore new places and thoughts
Life at the edge can leave the others behind
They don't follow as quickly as you would like.
Life at the edge give the chance to be totally free
free from restriction, free from baggage
Life at the edge shows freedom needs to be shared
To hold hands while exploring possibilities
Life at the edge is no more for me
I want comfort, company and love
Life at the edge is dark and souless
I want to go home
Full of adventure, direction and challenge
Life at the edge can be a lonely place to be
Full of fear, isolation and unwanted solitude
Life at the edge brings the opportunity to push the boundaries
To go further than anyone else, to explore new places and thoughts
Life at the edge can leave the others behind
They don't follow as quickly as you would like.
Life at the edge give the chance to be totally free
free from restriction, free from baggage
Life at the edge shows freedom needs to be shared
To hold hands while exploring possibilities
Life at the edge is no more for me
I want comfort, company and love
Life at the edge is dark and souless
I want to go home

About this poem:
This is my first attempt at writing poetry, well writing anything that is not technically based. I have no idea if it is good, bad, indifferent.At least it is short, so if it is truly painful, it won't last too long.

Hi Prof
For a first poem this is good... Life on the edge can be fun... Though sooner or later we need love and the comfort of a settled life. I am a big fan of free verse... I am sure it would be no problem for you to try rhyme.
You give us so many sound reasons for living life on the edge in your first three stanzas, some may question your conclusion in the last stanza that life at the edge is dark and souless.
My own view is that those who have NEVER tried living life on the edge have never really lived in any meaningful sense at all.
This free verse flowed really well and I enjoyed the read.
Regards
Bill
