Array ( [sid] => 15662 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Crossroads [time] => 2003-04-06 16:46:22 [hometext] => I wrote this poem a few months ago! It helped me through a rough time! [bodytext] => I come to a stop in the road.
There are three different roads.
Which one to go down?
One says Past Love.
One says New Horizons.
The last one says Great Passion.
Which one to choose?
I stand there and ponder the signs.
I make my way to Past Love.
But I turn around and stop.
What do I really want?
Pain, Love, or Passion?
I make up my mind at that point right there.
I turn around slowly.
There was another side road that says Happiness.
I strole down that path and never look back.
You don’t need Pain, Love, or Passion.
As long as you have Happiness in your life.

Well, beyond the fact that this poem sucks, I don't know what else to say.

Oh, by the way, poetry should use words, images, to show themes; to reveal ideas. Telling us outright... At least you didn't make it rhyme. Then I'd be forced to insult you.

Insult me or not...My poetry is my life and if you were a real poet or a lover of poetry you would have seen that this is a very good poem and is already in books...sooo you can't speak. But thanks for the critisism! Love::Kirby

the guest the made the comment above is obviously immature and needs to learn more about poetry...
poetry doesn't need to rhyme
and i don't know what they were talkin bout how you didn't have any words the whole poem is filled with them... images are drawn when the word crossroads is read... images of confusion and adventure... and themes are definately drawn at the end ... the guest had been oblivious to it.. it is that the persuit of happiness should be the leading goal in life that the roads that are difficult to get through are just obstacles to get around to happiness and all roads actually lead to happiness some time or another
