Kurt Vonnegut said,, "I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center." Do you agree or disagree with his thinking? Where do you prefer to be on the edge or smack in the middle? Have you read Vonnegut? What did you think of his writing style?

Living on the edge is much better then living in the middle. Living in the middle tends to encourage either Demophobia1, Ochlophobia2 or both. Of course, living on the edge can encourage Acrophobia3, but at least you don't have a bunch of people standing around cutting off your oxygen supply. The biggest problem with living on the edge is the possibility of falling off. If you fall off there may not be anyone to grab you and pull you back, but that's the chance you take. There isn't any guarantees in life so you may as well enjoy the adventure while you can.

Spring. Green grass, bunnies, robins, rain, Easter. Let's write about spring. Megan

Spring

The vernal equinox with
Green grass growing everywhere,
clouds gathering the the blue sky
promising rain
while robins sing:

"Beautiful, beautiful spring"

Easter eggs
and chocolate bunnies
proclaim nature's New Year
while winds whisper through tree limbs
singing:

"Beautiful, beautiful spring"
