The poem for today comes from Fandango’s story starter. Thank you Fandango for hosting.
Craig had to choose a path, but given his history of making poor decisions, he…
The storm within is raging
as Craig chooses a path
mourning past decisions
struggling with a history of wrath
Inner thunder
as he runs through the trees
dodging snakes in the ferns
then falls to his knees
A lightening strike of emotions
anger, rage, and desire
which path to choose
what will it require
Running into a field
chance meeting a moose
flee or stand his ground
there is nothing to lose
In desperation
something seems to click
Craig runs toward the moose
picking up a stick
Frightened and confused
the moose retreats
Craig has a revelation
the vision is sweet
With renewed vigor
the inner storm has ceased
now making wiser choices
confidence has increased
Time moves forward
living a new way
happiness is found
wiser decisions save the day

Experience comes from surviving the life.
Craig here seems to have a solid mix of luck and determination. Hopefully we can add longevity to his recipe for a long life.
I agree. Experience is definitely life’s best teacher. Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful day!
A good one Debbie. I like the ‘different’ direction you took……
I was intrigued at my reaction. Wasn’t till half-way down I realised the rhyme. So lost in the story the rhyme stayed in the shadows. As a rhymer this took me by surprise…….
Thank you. I am trying some new things. Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful day!
I liked it. Innovative.
I’m fighting storms too…….
Posted personal storm yesterday. Working on another un-personal one. …..kaboom kaboom kaboom (rolling thunda Debbie) haha
Thank you. Prayers for strength and comfort through your personal storm. Please take care.
i am in a better zone than 10 years ago.
Thanks to many people – family, friends, GP, mental health workers and police.
It was the police who recognised there was a problem and ‘rescued’ me. I am ever grateful. Maybe because they have training to detect these things.
I just posted this a few days ago

Mental illness is difficult to live with. I am thankful that you have a wonderful supportive group of people surrounding you. Mental illness runs in my family but everyone’s journey is unique. Writing has been a wonderful outlet for me in all the personal storms in my life. You are gifted writer and I hope that the creativity is helpful. Thank you for sharing. Please take care.
