Fall Hazard

Happy Valentine's Day!

My collection of thirty lovey poems isn't quite ready to be posted, as I wanted to make further edits to a few of them instead of rushing the post for the sake of completing it before Valentine's Day. Still, though, I wanted to post something for the occasion, so on this post is a revised version of Practice Run II, one year after its publishing.

Ever since poetry replaced fiction and prose as my main creative outlet over a year ago, I've been improving to the best of my ability and working on developing a style more personal to me, which I think is a story for another time. Hopefully while reading you will notice more literary devices and a little personality starting to creep in to this poem when compared to the last one (and especially Practice Run I).

I cannot wait to continue receiving feedback, improving, and sharing my poems. Thank you so much as always for being here, and thank you to everyone who has given me feedback.

Fall Hazard

My heart hardly flutters as fast as this

When not due to acute anxiety

Even if I'm simply reminiscing

I envision our future's entirety

Verge of dawn, still I jot compositions

Have I fallen in love? I fear it's true

Atop a lofty concrete wall I sit

I fear heights, but I'd be fain to fall for you

You're waist-deep in the moat, arms open

I'm Humpty Dumpty, but I will not break

I'm sliding off the edge of my coping

Trust fall! I'm trustful you'll help me land safe

Of all the king's horses and the king's men

No one can protect me quite like you can
