Yep!! He would be that kind of man. Thanks for sharing this one with the photo. Leaving on the edge all the time. Kind of a suicide on the sly. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K

Deep saraku, i love it! And felt the depth of what you’ve delivered here. One who falls out of routine or has no plans or ambitions often end up there, like you’ve said. I plan on writing a saraku this week. I think you should have a contest. Monoku, but in the form of saraku hah. How fun will that be? Pleasure always reading your work sweet sara. Theres wisdom that emanates from your words always. Sending you light today and always

you're so sweet, Ink. I'm grateful for your appreciation of my little 'sarakus.' You made me smile. Glad you 'got' the message within my poem. I agree...a saraku contest would be fun...will give that some thought. I'm grateful for you and your energetic presence in my poetic life, hugs, Sara

I prefer my routines. Mind you I have had my share of precipices. Sometimes we have to take leaps of faith. A man of routine usually packs a parachute.

I'm a woman who's comfortable with her routines as is my hubby. Sometimes, though, we need to mix things up a bit. I like the idea of taking a parachute...clever and humorous. Have a great evening, Richard...thanks for the visit, Sara

A verse of wisdom Sara, best to plan ahead and avoid those precipices. Tom

thanks, Tom....unfortunately, I've not always prepared for the precipices...I used to be somewhat reckless, not thinking before doing...just enjoying the thrill of being on the edge so to speak...no longer do that :-) thankfully..enjoy your day, Sara
