When you have a list of choices, what'd you choose?

Okay;; My mom has this apple box with a million different business like cards in the center and on each card is a different quote. You can insert what ever card you want shown for that day in the front and it then becomes an art of decoration. I was walking in my kitchen and read the card that was out today and it struck my interest; So I decided to read some more. These were some of the ones that really got to me or got me thinking, I'd like for you to write a poem based on one of  quotes; how it makes you feel, what it makes you think about, etc. Other then that, there are no other guidelines. =) Oh, you can enter as many times as you want!

 


As for the options--

Option One::
There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness. --Josh Billings

Option Two::
Good words are worth much and cost little. --William Feather

Option Three::
No one is useless in the world who lightens the burden of it for anyone else. --Charles Dickens.

Option Four::
A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval. --Mark Twain

Option Five::
What lies behind us and what lies before is are tiny matters compared to what lies within is. --Ralph Waldo Emerson

Option Six::
Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict. --William Ellery Channing

Option Seven::
Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. --Hellen Keller


Hopefully one of them caught your attention and you will enter. =) My contests never have the best of luck so Im hoping for some good poetry to read this time.

 

Rules:: [of course!]
1. No chat speak please.
2. Or sticky caps and things along that line. =)
3. No novels, but other then that the length doesn't matter.
4. Readable font!
5. Put option in authors notes of course.

6. So I know you read the rules and intend to follow them, please add "Broken&&Bruised" to your authors notes as well.

7. If the rules aren't followed, I will DQ you, sorry. 

8. And have fun!

 

Oh, and I have points that are collecting dust so if this turns out good the points will most likely go up. =)

 

And backrground credit to Starz of Heaven. Shes amazing and love her. =)
