An Act of Choosing

an act of choosing

     a choice you and I
sadness with smiles tell lies
probabilities

     in life ups and downs
smile sneers eyes leers ogled glance
probable options

     measure for measure
the pits depth zenith crest base
an act of choosing

WOW! Haiku Magic. Also, Zenith is in my top 5 favorite words. I posted a poem on here called Zenith...something or other a couple years ago. It's an A-Z, letter usage poem. I think it's called Abercrombie style. Don't quote me on that. It's Ab something. Did I mention names are not a strong suit for me along with reading? expanding on earlier, if my wife didnt type my comments no one on this site would read any of my poems. Also, I wouldn't be able to hear such nice words penned by you all.
