This went off in a different direction than when I began. I like it, and hope you do, too. :-)
i have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain - i am going to go for it
i mean, what's the worst thing that could happen? my pen could run out of ink maybe no one will read my words -
maybe i'll splinter on the valley floor - but that's a chance i must take and so i close my eyes
and step over the edge of nothingness - - - claws of gravity pulling on my legs - - - as i'm falling quietly to my death - - - my heart is satisfied because i tried - - - my soul is at peace - i can live with that - - - i land triumphantly onto the page with the adrenaline rush of poems in my veins -
i raise both of my arms and celebrate the conquering of my fears and thank God i survived -
and it is then - and only then - i sit and contemplate what happened - the miracle of words -
IT is why we exist, we live for IT, we die for IT, sex is part and parcel of IT, so what the hell, we might as well, as well, go for IT...Ed (gee this may work into a poem by me, another IT, can't ya tell...?)

Yes, I like it. You know, Karla, you can write poetry. Good poetry. But you seem to be stuck with this poetry-about-poetry-and-my-muse thing. What I mean is . . . branch out. You are good. Like you just said, go for it!
