What if I fall
Down from this cliff
Looking below
Only clouds block the abyss below

What if I fall
Will they catch me
I’d smile in pleasure
Fluffy white comfort all around me

What if I fall
And the clouds reject me
What is down there far below

What if I fall...

Nice poem! I've read most of yours, and they're all deep!

P.S. I think we have the same first name! Elana?

5th grade is still pretty cool!!! I'm a freshman, and I still can't write very well sometimes! Great job!

I liked this one the best!!! Sometimes I feel like I'm going to fall any minute, and this somes up those feelings perfectly. I would suggest that 'below' be taken out after 'abyss' (I know, I hate it when you can't change something once it's posted). Anyhoo, I'll make THIS one my favorite. Nice work! :P
