Do I Dare? Poem by David Taylor

Do I Dare?

Rating: 5.0


Trying to let go.
Aspiring to let it flow.
Pretending I don’t think I know.
Waiting for nothing
and hoping it will soon arrive.
Asking for nothing
and keeping a desire inside.
Giving all I own
except for what I keep at home.
Thinking I don’t care
but only if you will be there.
Where is faith
and do I dare.....?

David, this is a hard kind of poem to write....seriously making a decision. I think the rhymes in your first three lines distract from the poem. Just try it without the rhyme and see whether you like it better. (Even the first two lines are fine...it's just that third rhyme that jars.) Just a suggestiion. Raynette

David, sometimes the best questions we can pose to ourselves are rhetorical in nature. Then life, or chance, or change, or whatever, presents us with the answers... I find this masterful. t x
