On The Edge (Etheree)

by Baby Rainbow   Jun 26, 2013


Numb
with the
cold dark depths
of loneliness
comforting my soul.
Standing on the cliff edge
watching ghostly waves whisper,
trying to determine my fate.
Secrets of my tears silently fall
in the shadows of a snow-capped mountain.

    I agree you really did well with this one! No one truly knows how hard it is to write etheree's with flow and the right wording and you did great.I love the vivid imagery you portray in this. I can imagine a sad and lonely person sitting on a cliff edge wondering if they jump or not. The way you describe loneliness is done so well. Depression can truly consume your soul that you feel so numb so I loved numb as the first word as it builds into the story. The there is the sadness that comes in. The waves gently whisper no matter what... I love that because you decribe the waves as haunting like the ghostsfof a a past. There are so many reasons to cry so I loved that you put that in here. I loved the ending as it brings to life the true imagery of this poem ! Overall I love the element here. The sadness and the way you describe everything! 5/5
