Journey One
Journey Two
I'm a reasonably lively person
At times I'm almost brisk,
But I certainly am not the type
To go in search of risk.
You won't find me sky-diving
Or considering a gamble
And when I walk I take such care
I almost seem to amble.
And yet, not once but twice in life
I've upped and emigrated!
And that's a move that friends of mine
Have never contemplated.
My risk-takings never physical
It's adventure that I've craved
And thats why joblessness and such
Has been,quite gladly, braved.
What is a risk to one person
Isn't a risk to all
I'm a midget in some areas
But in others I stand tall.

love this take on the prompt well done
Well I skipped your SA to land in SA of another kind. What an adventure that was at only 10 pounds a head. p.s. I skipped sky-diving too. Every trip back to UK has merely confirmed our first decision was correct. Great poems to reminisce over.
Very nice! I particularly like the idea that what is risk to some, isn't to others :-)
Enjoyed your tale of risk!
Delightful poems as ever! I went to live abroad once but I eventually came back to my SA - Southern Angleterre!
I left southern England to emigrate to a cold country in the far north-east that had an 800 mile border with the then Soviet Union. Still here after 36 years. Crazy, or what?
the furthest i've gone is cross-country! hats off to you for your bravery!

Great poems once again!
