This is a very good philosophy. If we don't care about ourselves, nobody else will either. You have put a positive spin on self-esteem. Your nonet is illustrated well and has a good theme. Good luck in the contest. Marilyn

It's very nice to find a poem that is so very positive and upbeat. You present the fact that you actually have choices you can make and that you choose joy.

One thing I picked up on is the fact you don't always have a choice, but when you do, you choose joy.

Well done,
Rhonda

You've summed up beautifully the whole crux of the matter. We do have choices as you've so eloquently stated. We can choose joy or be miserable. I love the message conveyed and enjoyed reading this well written work. Well done!

Congratulations on a great piece of work! Sometimes we get so caught up in the busyness of everyday life it's easy to forget we have choices isn't it? Good luck with the competition!

This nonet, Choices, has the proper nine-to-one descending syllable format and finds that the reasoning which averts fear, failure, and forgotten moments is the pursuit of personal joy. Nice.
