What Will You Choose?

You
decide
what to do.
It’s up to you
befuddled or not.
You must finally choose.
How will you reciprocate?
Will you in turn return the words
with a graceful and kind demeanor?
Or choose to conveniently stroll away?

  2. I love this. The picture reminded me of a tree which led me to Christmas which made me think of choices made in the past. Just my ramblings.

  3. Cleverly done. And the sentiments echo life's uncertainties.

  4. Your assertive words match the shape; working up to the conclusion. Love it.

  5. Sometimes its good to think before returning a phrase, or just to simply walk away, good choices either way.

  8. Well both options are OK so don't sweat it. Curiously I found the tree/pyramid shape one of uncertainty as the decision became more difficult!

  9. I'm always uneasy when I have to wait upon the uncertainties of a reply. I prefer situations where I can just make a plain statement, and leave it at that. Arrogant? Maybe! Me? Yes!
    Very good poem.

  10. To reciprocate or not - always a choice. Love the shape of this and the strength in the words.

  12. Nice. I always find it hard to stroll away, yet sometimes the graceful words refuse to come!

  13. This poetry style reminds me of a nonet. I like how the words are building upon one another. It is bold and quite declarative. I enjoyed this.
