      Edgy Poetry Introduction

      (Quatrain)

      06/06/2020

      This work is not for the faint of heart,

      Or for reading in the dark.

      To the reader I make a pledge.

      This is poetry with an edge.

      In that slow, uncertain time,

      When you need something to unwind,

      You might ponder whether to tread

      Through these pages with an edge.

      Not to frighten or demean,

      Nor to stir up the unseen,

      Enjoying the preview?
