On A Cliff (Free verse) by colndodg While standing alone on a cliff,
I often wonder how deep it is.
And how long I'll drop.
We live so distant, so cold as ice.
We are so forest for the trees.
Sometimes, I stand on this cliff and leap,
I jump to conclusions, I beg for forgivness
I stand at the end of a cliff and pray for rain.
While I stand on this cliff,
I look down at clear forgotten waters,
Watching waves giving in.
Watching myself giving in,
and falling.

I don't understand.
That's a twist.
Why do you pray for rain while standing on a cliff?
What does stanza 2 have to do with stanza 1? Still, some good images here.

rife with cliche. cold as ice. forest for the trees. beg for forgiveness, pray for rain. I realize that this was probably intentional, as the whole poem is about "taking that leap" off the cliff, but still, it is hard to read so many without cringing a little. 6
