Choices

You find yourself in a twister,

Spinning and spinning around.

So many decisions to make,

If you want to touch the ground.

Time to rethink your big plan.

Faster and faster it gets,

Will you have fun or crash?

There will be no safety nets.

You're moving to the top,

Higher and higher you go.

Is this good or bad?

There's only you who will know.

Over the top you fly,

Falling and falling to land.

This is the end of the ride,

Maybe you'd like a hand?

Appreciate the inspirational,motivational and instructional piece.
Its rhymes are also wonderful.
Its special beauty lies in using structures like:Spinning and spinning,Faster and faster,Higher and higher and Falling and falling in second like of each stanza.
It shows that you really worked attentively to construct the poem.
Congratulations,again.!!!

I'm not quite sure what you mean, I haven't studied writing or structure if that's what you mean? I just write what comes to me, it usually starts with the first line and flows from there :)

[zainul]

I got my answer.
You are a real talent indeed.:)

I like this poem. Made me think of risk taking and possibilities. Thank you for sharing.

This hits hard... literally... as the reader takes in the words... people are not incline to get help, until the problem gets to a point of no return... and when they do finally get the help do they start to realize what life is all about again... or turn back to the person they were all over...

[Emily W]

You are so true, it shouldn't have to be so hard to ask for help as soon as we need it. Thanks again for your review, they mean a lot :)

I really like this poem. It draws on the stressful demands of decision making, particularly when deciding on the excitement of short term versus the consequences in the long term. But what I like most about this poem is the hope with which it ends. That last question is so hopeful and presents a helping hand to those in need. Thank you for writing and sharing this poem with us!

[Emily W]

Thank you, your review means a lot :). I wasn't sure how people would react to my work but when I hear people appreciate their meaning and message it makes it all worth it :)

[Karen]

Poetry is a beautiful means of expression and those who appreciate all different kinds of poetry get the most out of it. And you are right: it is so worth it when people get the meaning and message!

Nice rhyming. After reading this,I can't help but think of one who works at the stock market and the frenzy that takes place there. I suppose there's a bit of that in anything we take a risk on. We all need someone to help us out now and then.

[Emily W]

Thank you, I like the idea of the stock market too, I hadn't thought of it like that before :)
