  1. Nice, Jeff! My first thought was a red-winged blackbird teetering precariously atop a cattail. Definitely "on the edge". But then, of course, there are the cattails themselves, living quite literally on the edge of the pond, staying on the fringe, not at all daring. I love the possibilities in these five words!
