indecision


from the ABC set The Young and the witless

how should I decide
make a decision
a choice

after weighing up all
the options
the pros
and cons

with the heart
or with the head

spontaneous
or planned

should I look
for a sign
a portent
an omen

speak to friends
seek advice
they could tell me
to do the wrong
thing

worry about
consequences
the fall out

what if I get it
wrong
regret
rue

is there any point
making one
in the first place

Hey

I'm not sure this is poetry. A lot of poetry does get accused of being cut up prose arranged in lines and this feels like that.

Do you write other stuff that has rhythm and meter etc?

Cheers

tend to write like this tbh, has become the norm for me, i know what you mean, but poetry has a pretty wide definition imo
