Cliff Hanger
Written for "EXPRESS IT IN EIGHT " Open in new Window., topic: Image of someone climbing a cliff


The rock wall rises straight to the sky,
If I loose my grip I will fall and die.
Just my fingers and toes suspend my weight
Gripping cracks in rock, they hold my fate!

It's over a hundred feet down, if I fall;
The tops a hundred more, this cliff is tall.
My fingers slip and I plummet and scream —
To wake in my bed, it was all a bad dream.

2023 Quill Nominee.
A proud member of "Invalid Item" Open in new Window.

"Reading soothes the soul, writing sets it free." T.J.

About The Author
My writing doesn't follow any set genre, it's interdependent of my mood and all that's taking place in life. I'm still finding myself, what I write constitutes the markers along the path of that journey. With time, many things will manifest in my work and perhaps I will pursue one or two genres. For now, it's not, "What type of writing is my passion?" "Writing is my passion."
