Decisions Decisions

to what shall i spend this 
pen and ink
to love and all it's facets
excitment and sweet
to history the brave
the honorable deceaced
to  seasons the four 
cycles compleat
to life and it's pleasures and pains
and death the ultimate failure distained
to family the irriplacible kin
and sometimes foes
to the glory of sports
and the honor of heros
to what higher levels
ambitions let us climb
to hidden secrets our minds
allow us to find
i'm running out of ink 
just trying to decide

Hi, John. I love this one....kind of in the style of Pope, though brought very much up to date. Yep! Sometimes you sit down and think about what to write, end up writing about what to write about. Very well put together. Love, Daver

Wow! A fabulous poem. Inks may draw out, but the subjects to write on are inexhaustible. Great! You may like to correct some printer's devils. I don't know if you have read my poem The Paint Brush. Spare a little time and read it. I am sure you will enjoy the poem. Thanks for admiring my poem The Sound of Silence. I am glad it caught the attention of your discerning eyes.
