Poem Study rhyme scheme: free verse alliteration: to try in line 11 self sacrifice in line 20 Onomatopoeia: none //**Metaphor: line 13 Simile: none symbolism: none review: I like this poem because it is telling you to put yourself out there and do something which is what you should do or you really wont be anybody.Anyways this is a very good poem.I wish I knew who wrote this. RISK**// To laugh is to risk appearing a fool To weep is to risk appearing sentimental To reach out for another is to risk involvement To expose your feelings is to risk exposing your true self To place your ideal, your dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss To love is to risk not being loved in return To live is to risk dying To hope is to risk despair To try is to risk failure Yet risks must be taken Because the greatest hazard in life is risking NOTHING The person who risks nothing Does nothing Has nothing Is nothing Self-realisation is harder than Self Sacrifice HOME
