Deep End

The ocean
the sea
the river
the pool
 
All have area’s
called the deep end
So does life
 
One can write
poetry since grade school
 
But writing only
when emotions
affect you
isn’t the same
as writing
to a daily prompt
 
Now to type it up
place it on a blog
well that’s the Deep End
 
One step further
to submit your work
opens you up to 
vulnerability
 
The Deep End
is where my
mentor put me
only not a
gentle nudge
try a big push
 
From the Deep End
a lifeboat rescued me
and published my work
that’s what she gets
from throwing me
into the Deep End
