Living On the Edge

Do what you want


When you want
Don't worry about what
Others think or say

Go where you want


Or fly away
Dream all day and night
Think of what you want

Say what you please


Run in the park
Go places in the dark
Don't hide in fear

Go for a walk
Or a wild ride
Do something you don't understand
Research the world

Living on the edge


Get wild
Have lot's of fun
Let's do something weird

Live your life the way you want


Don't let others tell you what to do
Go to places unknown
Fly a plane

Jump out to
Do your thing
Walk your way
Play in the hay

Find a man
Be all you can
Please and tease
Go out on the town

High heels
Stockings to
Short skirt
Live on the edge

Dreams
Langston Hughes, 1902 - 1967

Hold fast to dreams


For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams


For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

First Fig
Edna St. Vincent Millay, 1892 - 1950

My candle burns at both ends;


It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends
It gives a lovely light!

My three poems are all about living life to the fullest and this connects to my topic
because george jung did exactly that. In the poem first fig the writer uses alliteration to
show how much she wants to live life to the fullest. In Living On The Edge the author
uses rhythm and rhyme to convey a careless attitude in life. In Dreams the writer uses
line repetition to convey an optimistic tone.
