Standing in the fork of the road
I was thinking deep
I had to make a choice
One to throw and one to keep
I cant have both
I knew that very well
But which one do i choose
It was so difficult to tell
On one side was my beautiful yesterday
On the other side a promising tomorrow
Whichever i choose, by missing the other one
I would be keeping a sorrow
But thinking about this
One thing is missed out
That there was this today
And what i'd be doing with that
I was missing the obvious
The one easy choice ere me
I need not choose between yesterday and tomorrow
But enjoy this "today"
I choose to let go off both
Yesterday and tomorrow
Just enjoy this day at hand
Be it full of joy or sorrow

Wow, I really enjoyed this one. I love how there's a dilemna in the beggining about yesterday or tomorrow, and then you realize that today is all you have. Sometimes you just have to live life to the fullest because life was meant to be beautiful it's upto you to make it that way.

wow, this is a great poem, it outlines how people normally don't want today but yesterday or tommorrow just because they think today will be bad, even though it could be amazing. i like how you set it out as a fork in the road strugling with a choice which you introduce later, i quite like this poem because when you chose who didn't care if it would be a bad or joyful day, you chose because you didn't want to wonder what would have happen down the track,
amazing poem Nirmal, keep up the good work.

Thanks for this entry into this contest!
I think you make the second one that took this approach to the prompt. What a great job you did on this one! yesterdays, full of memories that will help us through tomorrow, in many ways, must not be forgotten, but cherished.
I will be judging shortly
Best of luck to you in this contest!

Good
I like the message this poem is putting across.. quite inspirational. I feel there's a lot of focus on spelling & grammer on this website but I don't see it as being a massive deal!! As long as the reader can understand it then why pick holes in peoples abilities. I wouldn't worry about it!! the poem is good, I think everyone could relate to this!!

hey beauty... thanks a lot for taking some time out for reading my poem... This poem was actually submitted for a contest and my friend Sunshinegirl had made it clear bout the rules. one among the rules was "Spelling and grammar" mistake should be avoided. Thats what she had pointed out in her comments... I couldnt find any spelling mistake though...
Never mind... and once again i thank you for your lovely comment.
And one last thing... why dont you upload a photo(in allpoetry) in which you are smiling. I guess you would look awesome with a smile on your face
