Crossroads

Crossroads                                   
                                                                               

                                                  Five   corners
                                                  Converge   in
                                                  Crossroads of
                                                  What if maybe
                             Turning points - to ride on indecision’s wings
                             CobbLed stone paths, smooth byways beckon
                             Dusty avenues vIewed - indolent parking lots
                             Thoroughfares Flow in turnpikes hasty choicE
                                                   Compromises
                                                   Adjudications
                                                   Reconciliation
                                                   Or fabrication
                                                   Either Or calls
                                                   To  ambivalent
                                                   Consummation
                                                   Of  white  fires

Greetings Sam. Your Crossroads poem certainly invites much thought + reflection. The extended metaphor of paved pathways really makes the reader ponder our lived + trodden travels. Congratulations! Brian
