Choices

The cross-roads to the future

Decisions are something that are in our lives everyday; this has no exception to me. In the coming year, I have many decisions to make; most will impact my life in more ways than one. When you participate in activities—and have other things happening in your life—you may have to know when it’s time to walk away from something you love to do.

Football

The clash of helmets fill (a)

The air, big hits bring thrills (a)

The best part is touchdowns (b)

Especially by ground (b)

Ball brings passion to lives(c)

It cuts you up like knives(c)

And can go test your head(d)

And shall until your dead(d)

And after games you feel(e)

You could’ve been more ideal(e)

Yet has such fun and grace(f)

Everyone runs with pace(f)

Metacognition: Writing these types of poems is a bit of a challenge for me. It’s a difficult time to get the rhymes, stress and syllables to work together into something that makes sense. To make something tell a story while having restrictions on how you can tell it puts a strain on my brain which can lead to mental pain (did you pick up on those rhymes). This poem alone took me about 45-65 minutes to write and fine tune to make sure everything was as good as it could be. I tried my best to make sure the perfect didn’t get in the way of good.
