I think you have a winner here, June. Some people don't award six star ratings to the short posts, but this is a good one. It's hard to make an impression in such a limited number of words. I like your use of the active verb "go" in the last line. That last line just has pizzaz. I think that's why I like your post.
Good luck in the contest. Hope the other judges feel as I do.

Hi June, this is a great contest entry, and your words have good sensory appeal. I especially like:

Go Bold
(Go Bold or go home)

I love the photo. Well done. A pleasure to read. Xo. Margaret

This 2-4-2, Life Is, has the proper formatting and reminds the readers that the world we step into needs to be made more comfortable for us, or the stay will be less than it could be.

This is an excellent entry for the 2-4-2 Poetry contest. In all seriousness, I would buy a Tshirt with this poem and this painting on it. I like it very much. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

June,

Great motto for the way we should look at life!

I am always amazed how effective these 2-4-2 poems can be. Sincerely wish that FS would have these contests monthly.

Mark

P.S. IMHO you can drop the period. The squiggle works fine.

I think if we know what we believe, and I'm not talking about opinion, I'm talking about what is true wisdom, and be bold in how you approach it, well done,, good job, blessings Roy

This is a winning poem/sentiment in my book as both painter and writer. You have used a very appropriate metaphor to get this idea across, making this an excellent entry for the contest.
