Joanna Daniel Poet Rubaiyat

Corridors of Uncertainty

Walking on my own 
   The future unknown 
Where do I go now?
   I wish it was shown... 

Thinking figurine 
   My future unseen 
Which door will open?
   Stranded in between... 

Unsettled ambler
   The future a blur 
When will dreams come true?
   No one can augur...

Confused and crazy 
   The future hazy
What will happen next?
   Life can be mazy...

Corridors all blear
   The future unclear 
Who will walk with me?
   I wish you were here...

Pathways untrodden 
   The future hidden 
How long must I wait?
   I'm still uncertain...

Pashang Salehi March 15, 2018 at 2:09 AM Jo, what a masterful Rubaiyat you portrayed. You are one of those people that I walk with, as matter a fact look behind you, I'm there..... I'm searching for any kind of answer myself.

Gregory Richard Barden December 9, 2017 at 3:52 PM Beautiful rhyme and rhythm, Jo, and such an exquisite write - loved it! Congratulations on your well-deserved win, my friend - blessings!

Constance La France November 26, 2017 at 7:30 AM Jo, a wonderful write and I like the series of questions, congratulations on your win in my contest !

Viv Wigley November 26, 2017 at 1:46 AM A great piece, Jo, sums up all of our dilemmas as we sail through life. And we do sail- we plot a course and adjust our tack as we go along. Congrats! Viv

CayCay Godwin November 25, 2017 at 3:21 PM Jo - this is excellent writing, brevity conveying so much while remaining poetically true to form. This is impressive, easy to relate to and excellent writing. I see it placed and I'm glad, for nothing else would have made sense. Hugs ... CayCay

Brian Davey November 25, 2017 at 2:03 PM None of us really know how long we have to wait but what we choose to do while waiting will determine the outcome of what we are searching for, congratulations on your win

Joseph May November 25, 2017 at 8:47 AM Congrats on your win Jo

Pashang Salehi November 24, 2017 at 6:46 PM Very Nice Jo.... Now you are an honorary Persian....

Janis Medders Tobechi November 22, 2017 at 2:56 PM We all walk them from time to time. Well expressed. Good luck in the contest.

Andrea Dietrich November 22, 2017 at 12:46 PM I came back to yours to read it again. It's really cool the form you used. I am surprised you chose this theme. It just did not occur to me it would be the one you chose for yourself!

Akkina Downing November 21, 2017 at 6:37 PM WOW! This is so well expressed. Very beautifully done, Jo! Good luck in the contest... hugs and smiles :)

Vincent Flannery November 21, 2017 at 2:45 PM Well written poem Jo Daniel. I'm sure this applies to many. You know my answer. Why Paul and Silas sang in prison. He Radiates Light and knocks down walls. All in His time. Take care and God bless.

Sara Kendrick November 21, 2017 at 12:47 PM Uncertainity goes with all of us even if we think we have it altogether..I appreciate you dropping by my page..I enjoyed reading this one ..Reads like a good contender for the contest..Sara

Eve Roper November 21, 2017 at 12:28 PM Wonderfully done, Jo, luck in the contest. Hugs Eve ~`*

Joseph May November 21, 2017 at 9:30 AM Finding our way through the mazes of life..Very nicely penned Jo

Heidi Sands November 21, 2017 at 8:25 AM This is so true, how life can be this way. Very well written Jo. I hope it does well in the contest. I am glad I was led to see this today :)

Silent One November 21, 2017 at 8:08 AM this is one of your best poems, recently I have read some very deep poems from you, we all go through these corridors, and it is important to open the correct door... Joanna Daniel November 21, 2017 at 8:32 AM Thank you Silent One, that's great to hear, coming from you:)

Andrea Dietrich November 20, 2017 at 11:36 PM Great job with the theme, Jo. I am torn between two of the themes. Gotta go work on it very very soon (like tonight. haha) Best of luck in the contest. I am sure to see this one on the list.

Alexis Y. November 20, 2017 at 2:03 PM WoW! Jo, You did a good job with the contest theme. Many will be able to relate to this poem because we all have felt "uncertain" of the future. I wish you the best of luck in the contest:-) Alexis

John Hamilton November 20, 2017 at 11:10 AM Uncertain future well depicted here Jo, enjoyed the read, glad your muse came around again!
