He stripped away
the façade,
the filligree of
pretense,
built up over
years of
conditioning.

Instincts engaged,
he stepped
off the edge
into the abyss,
where his
future waited
patiently.

The more I read this the better it gets; very, very good mate! Isn't it funny, that the less you say sometimes,the sharper it becomes and the more it means; this is a perfect example. I think this is what is referred to as 'real poetry!' Great stuff! Chris

Chris, short, sharp poetry is a favourite of mine to read. I like the idea of using as few words as possible to convey as much meaning as one can. Thanks for your kind words, mate. These are much appreciated

I love minimalistic poetry so I'm in love with this week's IP and all the stuff it's producing! Chris is right, less words - more power! Loved this one ;) Magic xxx

Magic, thanks very much. I find it a lot harder to write but so satisfying.

No, I'm the one with the goatee, it's on my picture! I'm Spartacus! Mind you I had to check this was written by you Mark... I found it different to your other stuff. Which isn't to say I didn't like it. Ewan.
