Some folk decide to tangle a la mode
I'd rather focus on the picture's whole
This is to stop me before I implode.
My course therefore's preserved just as my soul.
Some linger at the gate of non-chalance
I dare say life there is one fine, fat treat
But, if one needs a tad more of romance
They'll move a little further down the street.
For in the end there are no two roads won
There's only what one chose to travel in
It matters how you paint your setting sun
What did you choose and what did you intend?
Will there be another chance to redo?
This rocks foundations; breaking them in two.

simple?
who are these people who call your writing style "simple"? this, as you well know, is a sonnet. sonnets aren't usually classified as being simple, or easy for that matter.
i have read through a few of your other's and have come to the conclusion that anyone who would describe your work as being too simple, knows very little of poetry really.

I have always been afraid to even attempt a sonnet but you make it look so easy. This flowed so well and the imagery was great. I reall like the lines about if one need romance they travel further down the street. This is wonderful.

Hard Choice
Wow honey "But, if one needs a tad more of romance they'll move a little further down the street", you are absolutely right, the road followed by the mind and the road followed by the heart look completely different.

Very Nice
I liked it very much. I have just discovered sonnets, they intrigue me, but they also intimidate me as well. They obviously, do not frighten you. Don't forget to smile.
Well Done
