when i find

by Mary Frances Spencer

the edge again
i may write
or leap
into this blank
page

until then
the letters will wander
aimlessly
hiking along
the corny
stumbling over
sublime

as long as one
word follows
the other
somehow the line
may make it

all the way
to the
top

Heh. This effort is perfect. I love you edgy! Edgy is such a good place for girls like us to be. And to write about it? Icing!!! *licking my fingers* Thanks!

You there, right? That's the key thing. Really enjoyed this.

I know the feeling so well...of finding the edge (or having it find you) and having it find its way to the page...but it's funny how, in writing about not writing, you've written something so wonderful and relatable! The ending supports the piece so well (I don't want to say "I love the ending" and make you think I didn't love the entire piece!)
