Adventure
February 13, 2015
Living on the edge
Thriving for the thrill
Fingers crossed I pledged
It's like an addicitve pill
Closer and closer I get
Exposed to the danger
Never a need to fret
Only my sould to wager
3rd degree burns from adrenaline
Taking the road less traveled by
Adventure comes with the wind
Sound forth a battle cry
Secrets flowing in eel-shocked rivers
So dark and deep, I shiver.

Your poem captures the youthful spirit rather accurately. It reminds me of how I felt....young and the world ahead. Please keep sharing these feelings in words, it helps those of us who have grown weary and wary to remember what feelings flow through the youthful heart.

Adventures are a thrill and you described it well. Beautiful.
This is written with the look of a sonnet, but doesnt follow the rules for one. :)
