Beyond the fog lies the future, hopefully, sunny and bright! But as you say, the future isn't ours until it's God's plan. Then and only then does it become your future! Great poem!

This is a very well written poem. Your words flow beautifully, and you used beautiful words to write this poem. I like the line Choose your weapon, faith or fear. It is so true that we can make all the plans we want, but in the end, our life is in God's hands.The image you chose is absolutely stunning for this poem. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Comment from royowen
What a sensible and insightful poem you've written Tina. You've made the distinction between choosing our own fate or tying it to God's eternal plan. And you've made it abundantly clear, that the best solution is always God's way, we may do well in this life, but never satisfied unless God is at the helm. Beautifully written dear friend, in immaculate verse, well done, blessings, Roy

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written shape poem that looks like a tree. We cannot see what lie in our future and we are not suppose to know, that knowledge is only God's to reveal to us when the time is right.

Comment from Cybertron1986
Quality piece. Elegant voice and poetically delivered. This poem suggests many deep and insightful thoughts given to the reader as choices that are bounded by the morals of a higher power that cannot be challenged. I love how you stated that "opportunity, turns to the present." So true and inspiring. Thank you for sharing this.

Such the PERFECT offering for the New Year, Tina -- the way you bring your wonderful free verse to a close with such strength and finality in truth is wonderful!! ;) Like the way you've grouped the dreamers and doomsdayers.... as they both have a vision, don't they? Thanx for sharing, my lady! ;) Yvette
but murky fate --> But murky fate
doomsday-ers, What --> doomsday-ers, what

Comment from A. Willow Bends
This is exceptional. I love the whole bit. Your format is often one I choose myself, but this poem comes to me on a day when I could use a bit of motivation and this did it for me! Favorite portion: Choose your weapon, faith or fear . . . LOVE IT! I wish I had written that myself.
In the end, we can try to continue to be life "fixers", but oftentimes, as I age, I realize I have to put things in God's hands. This was a beautiful, poetic reminder.
Great Job!

Thank you so much! I appreciate the stars and especially that you said you needed it. I think I wrote it out of need too! Someone just gave me a 4, so I'm kinda thrown! How do I respond to that?
God, keep me loving...
Have a great day!
Hugs,
Tina

Do not EVEN respond to the 4 giver. They do not deserve a reply.

Oops..I went ahead and
answered her. I asked for
clarification, but I'm not too
happy about it, haha! Thanks for your vote off confidence!

Review For Plant What You Will
I love the meaning behind this poem. There is quite the lesson to be learned here. I'm not sure if it was a style choice, but there seems to be some punctuation errors. Also, the style seems much more casual than the content, but if that is what you are going for, by all means, keep it the way it is.
What in the world...am
I being targeted? Its not full
of punctuation errors. Just
venting. I won't answer.
She doesnt deserve it.
-
Nope. She doesn't. She is picking it apart in an attempt to show how smart she thinks she is. Let it go!
Wendy
-
You are brave. I try to ignore those who obviously don't read the poem and contemplate, but rather get hung up on punctuation. Bizarre beings. Poetry gives us freedom to write it as it spills from our heart, mind and soul. NOT THEIRS! I do not even think I have ever given a 4. If I don't like it for whatever reason, I skip it.
Wendy
-
I am over it, but it did bum
me out. I will ignore people
like that from now on...just my
first experience with a score like
that. Thanks for the reminders!
Love,
Tina

Gone, lol.Not worth an
ounce of worrying! Thank you!

I like your post and the centered structure you used. I like the way you tied the future to the present. I think this poem would benefit from more concrete images.

I'm not sure what you mean, a better picture or different words? Thank you for taking the time to read my poem...I was trying to portray not being able to see clearly, so I didn't use specific, concise words. Is that what you're relating to?
