Swings and Roundabouts

forthright don’t seem meandering paths ~ but they are known tried and tested 

shortcuts and trapdoors are much more direct ~ but lives they have ingested

Brian Sambourne Date: 1/23/2022 12:16:00 PM A very relevant posting for me as I've fallen through a number of trap doors when my decisions wavered. Another thought provoking piece. Sincerely, Brian Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 1/23/2022 12:58:00 PM Thanks Brian, sometimes the damn things can open up so quickly, and catch us off guard, in hindsight it’s much easier to see these pitfalls, and perhaps learn, I’m also guilty for tempting fate, and have paid the price too, cheers David

Evelyn Judy Buehler Date: 1/20/2022 4:34:00 PM David, this reminds me of Robert Frost's, The Road Not Taken. Excellent writing, and I love the rhyme.
