Oh, Brooke, how I love this one! Absolutely stunning. It's the kind of poem that stays with a reader and it's poetry at its finest.
Wonderful!

I like this cinquain. As you said in your authors notes, sometimes the poem writes itself and not always according to "the rules"! Nice job! Good message and I love the picture!~:O) J

'To everyman there opens a highway and a low and everyman decides which way his soul shall go.' Thank you for sharing your thoughts; I think your poem invoked thoughts of the unknown. 'Those who say do not know and those who know do not say.' I liked your little pearl of wisdom a thought for today. If we did know, I don't think we would be able to cope with the outcome, or maybe we would embrace it. Thanks for sharing.

There is no right or wrong path in life. Each one comes with it's own lessons, achievements and failures. Great job, I love the picture that you chose to go with it. :)

Yes, my point exactly - yet there are those dogmatic about their religion or philosophy who are sure God has revealed to them the one true path - those are the people who get on my last nerve. LOL Thanks, Brooke

You know so many different types of poetry, and you are a master of them all! I love this. And the title is great too. I wouldn't presume to try to criticize so expertly penned a piece as this, Brooke!
Warmest wishes

As soon as I saw the picture, I fell in love. Perfect! Your words match them without flaws. It would make a wonderful poster. Being a teacher, of course I think that way. But it screams for a wider audience. I see why you are rated so high on this site. You are a true talent. Thank you for sharing.
