Fragile

Little container
teetering on the edge of an
abyss

Will some hand come out to
grab it
or like times before

will it just fall to the ground
shattering
pieces of life scattered

across the ground
strewn in fragments large and small
lay my heart

broken

  1. This is also good. You capture the "falling" image with the lines themselves, and the spacing which gives a sense of the poem "falling." The last word "broken" evokes that last piece that falls onto the ground, maybe uncapitalize it to show how "broken" it really is.
