Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Choices Every Day

Choices every day
Orange blouse? Purple shirt? Denim or corduroy?
Potato chips or healthy cabbage?
Polite or rude?

Choices hourly.
Spend money on me, or spend money on others?
Do the laundry, or let it keep piling?
Comfortable shoes or sexy shoes?

Choices yesterday
Kool-aide or water?
Sandwich or three-course-meal?
Respectful or disrespectful?

Choices every second
To smile or frown? To make a federal case or ignore?
To be nurturing or apathetic?
Responsible or Irresponsible?

Choices this weekend.
See relatives or friends?
Shop or save money?
Be kind or unkind?

Choices every day.

Panagiota Romios April 19, 2019 at 7:33 PM Well done Caren! Panagiota Caren Krutsinger April 20, 2019 at 1:02 AM Thank you my friend. It was on my mind, as each minute of each day is a choice.

Heidi Sands April 19, 2019 at 8:31 AM Yes, so many choices to make. Good one :) Caren Krutsinger April 19, 2019 at 7:22 PM I always wonder why we make the choice that helps us the least, and often?
