Christopher Logue can lay valid claim to having invented the poster poem, with the help of such artists as Derek Boshier and Michael English. One example hangs in the bathroom of his house in Camberwell: Apollinaire said: Come to the edge . . . / So they came, / And he pushed, I And they flew. Logue has designed others himself.

Come To The Edge

Come to the edge.
We might fall.
Come to the edge.
It's too high!
COME TO THE EDGE!
And they came,
and he pushed,
and they flew.

Christopher Logue's beautiful short poem
on taking risks in life.

==================================
~ Come to the Edge ~


Come to the edge.

We might fall.

Come to the edge.

It's too high!

Come to the edge.

And they came,

and we pushed,

And they flew.

=======================================

‘Come to the edge.’

‘We might fall.’

‘Come to the edge.’

‘It’s too high!’

‘COME TO THE EDGE!’

And they came,
and he pushed,
and they flew.

Christopher Logue
English poet (1926- )

This tiny but powerful poem is often misattributed.

Read it. Read it again. Then think how long you have stood at the edge waiting for a push.      # 8610
