Jackie Freychet

Jackie Freychet is a twenty-four year old poet living in Prince Albert, SK. She is a proud member of Sans Nom, a local writer's group. Her work has been published in the TSC newsletter Connections, as well as an upcoming issue of Transtion magazine. To Jackie, writing is a way of dealing with life, where fantasy meets reality.

Writers' Village members look forward to reading more of Jackie’s work.

the edge

twelve feet of mystery
glitters fresh in sunlight
draws me close to its edge

i ponder thoughts
of what the square basement holds

does a body really defy gravity
if i jumped in
would i boomerang off the floor
could it carry me...

with father busy at work
and mother petrified of water
i never learned to swim

aqua depths become hypnotic
if you stare long enough

the cool surface tickles toes
that dangle over too far
as i sit along the cement border

i tease myself with thoughts
of immersing fully
into the gentle liquid silk
that begs for company
