Choices Again

 

No revelations this morning,

nothing new of consequence

to say.

Considered posting a repeat of an

older poem, but not even that

appealed to me.

Not for certain what’s for diner

later. Have several choices yet

to make.

I figure for the most part,

life is just that way—simply

boring, mostly routine

the same.

Creativity comes and goes

as the river of life flows.

Even those images have been

used countless times before.

Today, as with each and every

day before somewhere out there

history will be made.

I’ll wait and see, perhaps egg

salad and soup for dinner tonight

will do.

Could be, today shall

remain nothing ventured,

nothing gained.

I look at it this way,

Beethoven and van Gogh haven’t

come up with anything new in

years either.

At least, as I live and breathe,

I still have a few choices left

to make.
