i did believe one time
in preparation
to approach life's crossroads
looking for a sign
a declaration
and hope my fear erodes
but i never could avoid
delightful twists
on roads i never chose
in truth i have enjoyed
when life insists
on roads that i've opposed

ReplyDeleteYou bless us with fresh perspective, both with your photo-images and your words. I, too, resist the unknown, but have relished experiences offered up by it. We are in sync!
oh yes, I like to deviate as well

Oooh! I love the direction (no pun...) you took in this poem. The hand of fate in detours and shortcuts.
ReplyDeleteI like the tones, and the high angle. Nice one good sir!
ReplyDeleteIt is the roads we never chose that have taught us the most! Fantastic poem! It so resonates with me.
ReplyDeleteMario, I do think sometimes what gives us great joy is the unexpected and unplanned. Nice!
ReplyDeleteThe road 'less travelled' so often tempts.
ReplyDeleteVery joyous read.
I have to say I do agree with your final stanza...on most occasions! Nicely done Mario.
ReplyDeleteWhat is that saying? Life is what happens to you while you are making other plans. This poem has that feel.
ReplyDeleteAhh Crossroads. A very apt poem.
ReplyDeleteExcellent end rhymes and rhymes tucked throughout. "Oh" sounds were a fantastic carriage for the message.
