Excellent! Says it all in 8 words (and syllables)!!! In a day and age when it's easy to shrink and retreat into safety, it's a great reminder to "Go Bold!!!"!

Great message in your 2-4-2 poem, June!! Congratulations on your prize! Well deserved! We do need to take risks in life and we can live well with courage and "go bold" as God allows.

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.

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.
