Headline Poem 8/20/14 -- the in between

I was trying to decide between the (becoming by the minute) controversial #icebucketchallenge and the crazy ass weather we are having with rain and thunder and lightening today for my headline poem. So, I combined the two and wrote about 'the in between.' Plus I have Common Core on the brain, and so to end with a question, asking your view about this challenge, seems right. 

the in between

sometimes when there's a decision 

to be made

it's okay to escape 

(temporarily) 

to the in between 

of ghosts and goblins and

daydreams...

 just ask me

I'm a libra, and

  know 

a bit about

such things

the in between 

is no place for the faint 

or weak

   (of heart

   or body 

   or mind)

sometimes you feel like you've 

dumped 

a bucket of water on 

your head,

which doesn't make you a 

good person or 

bad, but simply wet instead

soaked

from head 

to toe

playing along 

with good intentions

        which are being questioned (again)

by those who have time 

to dig and rewind, 

but who may be worthy,

and god forbid, 

right

the water means 

you are willing 

to do

something you 

believe in

(and hopefully will follow 

through

before the ice melts)

some say they

are     wasting water, 

while it rains 

for the first time 

in months 

what say you?
