I think my @TopTweetTuesday poem responds to all three themes of 'journey, edge, revelation'... that dangerous brink where you KNOW you shouldn't jump, but you do anyway...

Thanks to @MatthewMCSmith for inspiring and supporting our #poetry week after week.

Hullo #poetry and @TopTweetTuesday This on the #revelation theme. Thanks as ever to @MatthewMCSmith The reference to Pascal’s Wager, is in very broad terms, an idea that it’s much safer to fake a belief in religion, in view of the infinite rewards potentially available.
