Living -- NaPoWriM 2022 Day Thirteen
On Edge; what if
People say, "She's living on the edge"
What that says I have no idea
I only know the world ends with me
It goes no further there is no more
It's only me in this crazy world
Me and three other dearly loved ones
Those would be Honey and my parents
Yes and my dog and cat to the list
Live for us six or is it we six?
Though not for me to worry about
Doctors and vets worry for them
I worry for me the pets a bit
Mostly I worry 'bout falling off
Off the edge of the world I might fall
And if I fall who would cry for me
Just those five it would be Count me out

Below is the entire picture of Vika's picture, "Perfection is Boring". As you can see I viciously cropped the portion that inspired me to write of one living on "The Edge of the World". The topic seemed wide open for my Muse, from we chose what you saw at the beginning.

Interesting the way you focused in on a portion of the painting. Thank you for also posting it in it's entirety. I enjoyed the direction you took in your poem. The image does have that quality of being on the edge. I do think more people will miss us when we're gone, more than we know.
I think that we all need to spend a little time on the edge to learn a little bit more about the world.
Living on the edge does provide us a perspective.
