Best Forks Poems

In the breaking light of dawn,
in a photograph - we kiss.
It's to your inner light I'm drawn,
while cursing fate, and chances missed...
Wrapped in thought, and solitude, 
sweet lies trumped by bitter truth.
The road it forks,and one way taken,
now questions over dreams foresaken...
A puzzling gauntlet of...

Old age has changed the nature of my chores
replacing doorstops – holding open doors
or when the joy of shopping slowly flags
I stand with other men – just holding bags

We dine – I weigh the cost of cold French fries
and order well done burgers – children’s...

A few lines about forks upon the table
Fondue's pronged fork for fingers habile 
A taste of life's flavored torgues
Babes brought by the stork
Tough, old meat
Forks
Fork for cake
Tines just for wine corks
Roads that fork and life uncorks
In the end only two tines are stable
A few lines...

The finest of wisdom and prophetic gifts are limited.
All human knowledge and understanding are finite.
I can think of at least two things that are inevitable.
In one form or other, taxes is certain the world over.          ...

I travelled from the north 
And stood in a street where it forked.
There in the middle was a twisted tree 
With leaves as far as the eye could see.
I looked up in the sky through the leaves,
Saw a Church Tower over the eaves
Of the once...

Life is a highway with many forks,
Your future’s shaped by each decision
Most of us aren’t sure of where to go
A lucky few follow a vision

Mostly it just a step at a time
  One decision leads to another
Not good to seek the easy way out
Choose...

I've stepped out of this moment before,
When the little things start to become so overwhelmingly big,
And the smiles on our faces shift down to cordial grins.

I've driven this path long before,
Stumbled over pebbles and boulders,
Bits of emotions that fell away,
Some which we had to give...

So far, I tried apple a la mode
Trained my tongue to catch sugar's festoon
Upon tines, losing sweets I was owed
A fork won't cork my dessert boon
Now I eat my pie with a spoon.

Two forks in the road,
I stopped picked one of
them up and had my lunch.

There was a time
Before I was born
That my great-grandfather
Could count thirteen forks
At the end of a particular road.
But now it's just a four-way,
A mere intersection
Landmarked by an abandoned building 
and carved granite slab-
Reminders that the way things were
Has changed forever....

Forks and Paths

it is called variously:
the fork in the road
a message from the universe
an intuition of new beginnings..
a couple meanings:
first..a longing to reach something new
something more fulfilling
than that which seems 
as stale of late..this is a state
of searching..which we all know well..
as for  the...

Forks can be multi-purposed.
I keep one in my purse for emergencies.
They are good to retrieve things that slide under booths in restaurants.
Helpful to dislodge cockleburs from dog's fur
Part my hair when I am waiting for a friend at Gilly’s Café.
A fork does not pull your...

Some will find out who they are
then write of what they’ve found

And some will write to unmask
who they are as they expound

One spawns introspection
and a self-deliberate tone

The other births a magic ride
—whose terminus unknown
