Iife is about taking chances, of course an educated one. A ship docked is safe, but that's not its purpose. An excellent message which works so well rhymed. Well done. Les

OK, what is an epigram? This looks like something on a Hallmark card, that I might send to someone struggling with a decision. Anyway, I liked it.

    Oh, I can do pithy and witty...not to sure about short. Thank you.

    it has to be short to be an epigram, but hey, nobody says what you write has to be an epigram :-) I like witty no matter what the length!

    Well I am short already, and getting shorter.

I like this short rhyming epigram, Brooke, which gives very sage advice about how to face life's obstacles: take a chance and leap. I might, however, end line 3 with "is" to get that pregnant pause before giving your advice.

damn the path and leap << I've done that many times, always scary, but if you don't take chances, you don't move on. It's how I married my hubby, and that was my best ever leap!

Speaking of options, when you're down to ONE option, the choice is much easier, which is why you never back your adversary into a corner.

My mind is all over the place with this one... you struck a nerve or two. :)
