edge of the earth

A Poem by bob, small b. aka invs
"

for aimee's group. inspired by the photo.

"





























We sat at the edge of the earth
you and I
Dangling our feet into the void,
Splashing  starlight with our toes
Barefoot children of the universe
Feet firmly planted
In mid-air

Barefoot children of the universe ... feet planted mid air - nice.

I really appreciate the images/ideas you chose to express in this. The celestial and surreal diction: starlight, universe, void, mid-air
Dramatic content (in a positive way) juxtaposed with brevity.


Two thumbs up.

What imagery in this. The title is what initially drew me to this piece. it is very short but what a punch it packs. 'splashing starlight with our toes' and 'feet firmly planted in mid-air' - Just wow, man. The contradiction in the last line just ads to the wonder of the whole piece. I very much like this one.

I like how you tie in the tangible and the lofty so beautifully in the last line. Really lovely.

It's very abstract in essence. It has a surreal like quality but also an innocent, romantic feel. Seeing how, you probably would only sit at the edge of the earth with a soul mate..

Beautiful!

Your words gently expand the panorama so that even without the picture I might have seen it!

A playful vision, what a wonderful combination of words and picture.

A surreal scene attached to an honest emotion. I like it a lot.
I will be back for more.
Cheers!

Such a beautiful piece to accompany the photo! Though I must admit my fear of heights makes me dizzy just looking at this! lol Great work.

Oh wow! Not only am I super excited that someone actually wrote something for the group, but I'm amazed that the first thing was so awesome! X3
I got an overall feeling of weightlessness in this, as though the people in it were floating, rather than just dangling. :3
Wonderful!
