Darlene De Beaulieu Poet Free verse

When In Doubt To Decide

When you are in doubt
Your not certain what to
    choose
The several items that are needed
You ponder, ponder to decide
Still unable to choose 

Walk away from it
When it is hard to 
     choose

Only one item to purchase
Think which one you need
      the most
Is the only way to do it

Mwila Mwila May 13, 2022 at 6:14 AM 'walk away from it when it is hard to choose' Sometimes even indecision is a choice, so we have to choose the important things anyway. This is a beautiful piece of writing Darlene De Beaulieu. Darlene De Beaulieu May 13, 2022 at 4:03 PM Hello Mwila, Mwlia, yes when in doubt walk away. I do this often. Just buy what I need. Thank you for the lovely comment. Enjoy your evening my friend. Hugs.

Thomas Wells May 20, 2021 at 11:49 PM Hi Darlene, You are so right. So often when I'm in doubt, the best strategy is to put the question aside for a while. That often clears my head so I can see the right choice clearly. You have a great day! Darlene De Beaulieu May 21, 2021 at 6:40 AM Hello Thomas Wells, yes that is right. I often go away empty handed. Sometimes I can not make a choice at all. Thank you and you have a great day to my friend.

Joseph P. DiMino May 20, 2021 at 1:55 PM I do the same thing with most everything. If I can't decide, I let it rest awhile. And if I still can't decide, I usually find that I can do without both. Great write! Thank you for sharing. Darlene De Beaulieu May 20, 2021 at 3:24 PM Hello Joe DiMino, I have always done this. Thank you for the lovely comment. enjoy your day my friend.
