Sitting Ducks

On the tumbling breath of trepidation
Tippy toe further with hesitation
Peering over the razored ledge
Shards of glass on a jagged edge
Throw a stone at the barren wall
Echoed screams to answer the call
Phony outstretched grins to mask weary hearts
Motion sickness from too many false starts
I’m surely a fool for sticking around
This jellied foundation has run aground
With loosened reigns, life’s run amok
It’s raining blows, no time to duck
Stripped down to bare bones, left exposed
Yes versus no when you proposed
A simple answer was inconclusive
Barely newsworthy, yet it’s exclusive
Like sitting ducks waiting to be hunted
Or a midget’s growth which has been stunted
It’s over before it started-
Like the sea we should be parted.

I think this sort of scares me because I know you. about all I got to say here. Gonna message the rest.
Oh yeah, but definitely the emotion is conveyed with this one.  |

"Or a midget’s growth which has been stunted"
Which "HAS TO BE" stunted?? It IS stunted ...THAT'S WHY THEY ARE MIDGETS!
Nothing sadder than someone who 'settles' for inappropriate terminology!

Hi Scorp,
I like the way tou tie he title of the poem together in the last stanpa i really like the fourth stanza. It seems to center in on one's vulnerablkity ....Stripped to our nakedness.
I enjoyes th;is write very much

vary sad, desolate, life out of ones control, we all
feel it sometimes, the desperation, this has
excellent imagery and is beautifully expressed,
hugs n' love nessa |
