personal choice
What do your decisions say about you?
leftover cake
better kept for
one more day
…
at the end of the day
we are left with making
a series of choices
and at their core
a reflection of
what we value
and hold dear
seat cushions
When do you know you need something?
boarding the plane
took for granted
my neck pillow
…
our body
and mind
will often tell us
when we need
a bit more support
to add comfort
to our lives
today is tomorrow's news
What happened to you yesterday?
yesterday
we sipped on
matcha lattes
…
we slip here
we trip there
when nothing
seems to be
going our way
the best thing to say
is tomorrow is a new day
times new roman
What is your favorite font?
the last turn
rolling and rolling
the blue marble spins
…
was once
a popular font
until the time
came for
others to take
the mantle
of most used
please and thank you
Where are your manners?
cutting apples
there are many hands
reaching for smiles
…
the first word
comes with a request
the second and third
come after that request
has been fulfilled
are manners
that matter
knock knock
What is the best joke you know?
wilting tulips
never made it
past sunday
…
the set up
and build up
matter to a point
but if we don’t know
our audience
It won’t matter
what the punchline is
shuffle and stack
What card games do you like to play?
hand full of red
crossing the river
before midnight
…
cut it in half
put it back
together and mix
it all up again
for we came to play
a new game with
the same deck of cards
if we must
When do you sleep?
as night comes
the streetlights chart
the path home
…
sleep
do it now
as we all need
time to rest
and reset
ourselves for
another day
left hand or right hand
What is your preference?
a piece of green
stuck between
white castles
…
we all have
our own preferences
and while some
appear naturally
others are nurtured
to the point it becomes
second nature
it takes two steps
Will you continue or go back on your goal?
forgotten bike
left for winter's hand
to decide
…
for us
to move forward
but if we loss
our faith and decide
to turn back
it will cost us more
than those two steps
test kitchen
Do you trust your instincts?
flash in the pan
the crab gives us
a winter blush
…
creating dishes
much like
everything else
takes more than
our knowledge
but intuition
and action
if part one
Where does your story go from here?
we march on
for the next time
tulips bloom
…
sets the stage
part two
should continue
and expand
the story
with twists and turns
along the way
the coffee table
What do you talk about with your friends?
water marks
on the glass
from yesterday
…
may not have
coffee on it
but there is
always going
to be crumbs
leftover from
our conversations
across our chest
What does your clothes say about you?
ink runs down
the feather
to the mountains
…
everyone has
a shirt with
something to say
to share our personality
without even
saying a word
to others
