Hi who dares do this...right to the edge of anything is fearful in fact ,but go to the ultimate ledge and dance your fear away, well beyond me,definitely.
Still thie write so short is full of beauty, determination and pith which need to be uncovered again and again.

Thanks, Benny.
Comment from Heather Knight
This is gorgeous. But it's not always easy to get rid of our fears, don't you think?
I love the last line.
Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

to many people.

Hello Chip,
You've written an excellent poem on the idea of going outside one's "comfort zone." It reads well with the abba rhyme within the 1-5-5-9 structure.
A nice touch of alliteration, too.
Excellent advice, but difficult for many to put into practice.
Perfect picture to accompany your words
Well done
Good luck in the contest

I like the title and message. Consider getting all four lines to rhyme. "your fear a hedge". A rough idea. No edits or adjustments necessary from me.

Hello Chip Kuzborski,
Lovely piece of Self-Improvement Poetry meeting the desired norms, and depicting its theme in a very interesting way.
Impressive phraseology.
Smooth and enchanting flow throughout from top to bottom.
The last line is particularly noteworthy.
Best of Luck!

Comment from Alex Rosel
I like this four line poem. The juxtaposition of beyond comfort's edge (i.e. going beyond the extreme) and tiptoe on the ledge (i.e. staying just the safe side of the extreme) is excellent. It will likely subliminally pull the reader's emotions in different directions.
A good contest entry. Good luck with this when the judging starts :)

Comment from Dean Kuch
You have to possess a spirit of adventure if you want to lead an interesting life.
I believe so anyway.
Sure, those who take risks can sometimes get burned. But they are also some of the wealthiest, intelligent and happy-go-lucky people you could ever want to meet.
We must live for today because, God knows, there may not be a tomorrow.
Good four-liner, Chip.
Best wishes to you in the contest.

"Discomfort Zone", is short, succinct and very much to the point. With a minimum of words, this talented poet has told it as it is. I look forward to seeing your next post.
