ON A LIMB
ON A LIMB
Just a misanthrope without any hope
Hanging and dangling on the end of a rope
Swinging and singing without any breath
Dancing with Death on A whim
As the bright light of twilight suddenly dims
and grins at my Southerly sins
on A rope gently swaying within dancing belief
hanging out on the end of a limb

its enough to make any misanthrope loose any hope especially with this kind of rope, love your alliteration and just the smooth read you give us, almost as it we are swaying on the end of the poem. Very much enjoyed the read.

I enjoyed the internal rhymes.
The last two lines really gave me bats in the belly and goosebumps feeling. I read it a couple of more times and still felt that bat feeling. This is pretty wicked.
