Written for Cinquain Poetry Prompt #13.
Our inspiration word is “choices”.
Here’s where my thoughts went.
My life;
Two paths conflict.
No map to guide my way.
I stand between. Which way to turn?
Crossroads.

Thank you so much for sharing this song! I love how it picks up at about a minute in. 🎶 Love your poem, too. “Follow your heart” is the common adage though that is often easier said than done. No one said this life would be easy! 🌄

That’s it exactly, Michele. I’m so pleased to know you enjoyed my cinquain as well as the song. The song had its own story to tell and it worked well with the poem. ☺️

We’ve all been there at one time or another and we haven’t always made the right choices. That’s life and fortunately, we can learn from bad choices. 😊

Thanks, dear Ivor. This is a new BL video for me and I think it worked well with my cinquain. My first choice, of course, was Cream but I passed on them for a mood that fit the poem better. What a great sound they had! 🥰🎶😎
