30 days in a row random Poem Challenge: Day 4 To Leap or Not to Leap

He stood at the edge of the cliff

Contemplating what to do

Should he jump or turn back

Many before him had made this decision

Some had hesitated

Some and leaped with reckless abandon

He was different

He stood there and thought

Chaos all around him

Screams echoing in his ears

So much anguish

So much pain

He thought about what to do

What did he have to look forward to?

What could his future hold if he turned back?

What could he accomplish?

Then instinct took over

The Lemming jumped

30 days in a row random Poem Challenge: Day 2 Where all the Socks Go

Have you ever wondered where that matching sock is?

Where could it have gone?

Well it doesn’t have legs with which to walk away.

It should remain where I left it when I come back later that day

But it isn’t there

It is nowhere to be found

Believe me I’ve looked all over the ground

I dispelled one rumor years ago

That under the couch there is a black hole

The other day I figured out the truth

I’m sure you heard of the Fairy that takes your tooth

Well it is sort of like that

But it isn’t a gremlin, an elf or a cat

Surprisingly it is something much larger than that

Sleek and stealthy it moves in the dark

Without any noise, not even a bark

Black as night it sneaks into the room

Scooping up socks just like a vacuum

Quickly it moves around

Its nose to the ground

 Just like a hound

But a hound that size??

Well that is  just insane

No the Sock eating monster

Is actually a Great Dane
