Description You have arrived
at the
precipice

You look down
and see
a river

fruit trees on the banks

You blink

The trees are dead
and a
graveyard now
stands in the
dried bed of the
river.

Every time
you blink
it changes

A park
A highway
A Forest
An Ocean

But what will be
there when you take the final step

When you jump

When you fall.

Seems to have great confusive moments within this poem, verbally it looks and sounds pretty good, I really liked how you have written some of this.

Only downfall to the poem of what I can see, is;
'A park
A highway
A Forest
An Ocean'
Its not really flowing, but still it stands out. Would be better in a different order or maybe changing the places to make it sound more flowing.

Though, I did enjoy the read.

Nice! I love the staccato rhythm to it, it really helps to define the change.

Nicely done, making the reader the main character in a short story or poem is difficult, the reader may not get related to it but inhere u achieved it quite well.
c ya!
