Poem–“Take a Chance”

A piece of white blue lined notebook paper with a shimmer of rainbow crossing it.We’re at the half-way point of terrible poetry for National Poetry Month. Way to hang in there! You can do it!

This was last year’s Day 12 theme, a risky poem. It could be about taking a risk or avoiding a risk or being risky. Anything involving or about risk. I decided to write a poem about falling in love because what’s a bigger risk than that?

This poetic form is a chant, which requires a repeated line.

Take a Chance

Your heart is delicate, but it’s not made of glass.
What do you have to lose?

Just think of your balls. They’re made of brass.
What do you have to lose?

The height is an illusion. It only feels too tall.
What do you have to lose?

No matter what you think, you’ll survive the fall.
What do you have to lose?
