Finding The Thrill
Too late...15 total reviews
Comment from Debbie Pope
I'm not worried about you being insensitive to suicide. I'm worried that all that happened to you. You who I see as a lover of life. I know that you are lonely at times (often?) but I see you as a winner. Such a strong person.
I'll be thinking about this. You laugh in the face of sadness sometimes.

That all happened a while ago. Yes, I am a lover of life, but life doesn't love us back sometimes, right?
Laughter is the best medicine... always. Thank you for looking deeper and finding me.

Well I?m just glad that you keep things in perspective.
Comment from Mia Twysted
I feel the desperation to find an end to the misery. Only to find at the end that there is something to live for. To find that thrill again. One then hopes it lasts.

Thanks for reviewing - much appreciated.
Comment from Michele Harber
I didn't see this as being superficial. Rather, I took away the important message that, once you've made the leap or slit the vein, it's too late to turn back, so think first about the things worth living for. Yes, you took a bouncy, jaunty approach to get there, but I didn't find it disrespectful. Rather, it just made what might otherwise be very dark and unpleasant enjoyable to read.
Even in a poem about such a serious subject, I notice you still managed to get in your clever wordplay, i.e., "I kept tripping up and falling down," and "What will become the death of me?" You even managed to get in a bit of humor: "I can't be bothered going to the shops." Nicely done.

Wow! This poem has many dismal ideas to envision. Each line seemed worse than the previous line, until the final line. It was humorous, but the reality of falling off a cliff and wanting to live as you go down, was sad. This subject is imaginative. The wording is creative. And your author note delivers the perfect message...you never want to miss something wonderful.

What a great message Lisa!
Instead of killing yourself, do something exciting and a bur reckless. If you die.in the fall, you're not responsible but the fear.you might is always there and might keep suicidal thoughts away.
It's on my bucket list.but at 61 I may be too late. But it's very tempting
Nice rhymes with.a varying rhythm
Take care

Live it up! Being dead will happen soon enough.
Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Finding the Thrill, leads the readers to the ironic conclusion that our final act may prove the inspiration to live on. Gotta hang in until the comet hits.

How ironic, to discover too late.
Comment from lyenochka
Yikes! Although this is humorous, I wonder if it's like that - facing the possibility of death make make us cling to life more? Enjoyed your multi-rhymed lines and the humor out of a very glum subject!

I think you've coined my attitude to life, I'm afraid I'd be be missing out on something, it means that life goes in cycles, I'm not terribly expectant of people, that ship has sailed, although I've got a great family and a few trustworthy friends, beautifully written Jenny, blessings Roy

Comment from dovemarie
Dear LisaMay, you have expressed wonderfully how it feels to be suicidal, all the things that happen to us that make us feel that way, andyou have great rhyming. A lot of those same situations happened to me too. I actually once took and overdose of psychiatric medication, my only real suicide attempt.

I am sorry to hear you have felt overwhelmed by previous situations and we nearly lost you! So glad you overcame.
Comment from Jammer11
I love how you used rhyming and incorporated thoughts with questions. The way you used your words makes this piece fun to read. In my opinion, part of being creative is trying to use experiences life gives us and share it with others the way we want to. You did that here. Nice work and thanks for sharing. :)

Thanks for your kind review. I do agree with you that creative people should try to use their experiences in a personal manner that shows the universal human experience.
