A Poem in Quatrains
Choices by adewpearl

Could I be an explorer
of lands as yet untamed,
would I scale the steepest peaks
so I might stake my claim?

Should I trudge through drought and dust,
sweat seeping from each pore,
to reach a cool oasis
upon the desert floor?

Slicing through the undergrowth
of jungle's dense terrain,
what dangers would I face down
to make it my domain?

I'd rather find a meadow,
a grassy, sunlit glade.
For fame I'd gladly forfeit
if this the choice I made.
