CHOOSE
by Lynn D. Morrissey

Choose to choose: Choose
Health & flourishing over languishing,
Optimism over pessimism,
Obedience over rebellion,
Sacrifice over self-indulgence,
Edifying over debasing.

Choose: Haiku Suite
by Lynn D. Morrissey

Watch the world go by
Passivity is a choice
You must choose to choose

You must choose to choose:
Sour-sweet, dark-light, sin-obey.
She ate of the fruit.

She ate of the fruit.
He did, too, so Adam fell.
Jesus chose to come!

Jesus chose to come—
Chose me before I was born
I choose to obey.

I choose to obey.
Part of Adam’s race, I fall.
Jesus picks me up.

Jesus picks me up.
I choose *again* to repent!
Jesus breaks my fall.

Limerick on Choice
by Lynn D. Morrissey

There once was a girl with a voice
who had trouble sounding a choice.
So she hemmed and she hawed,
indecision gnawed so much
she chose, then she rejoiced!

Tx for your kind words. Oops. Misspoke. I’d meant I think I’ve written but one limerick in my life (and I’m Irish)! Will have to remedy that.

Thank you, Linda. One day I may try to write a real poem. ha. I feel like I just spit these out to get them done.

I know I’m not the most creative in our group, but I try. lol. I’d definitely rank you among the top for that! I appreciate you linking up and keeping us posted on your word, Gayl.

Thank you for your encouragement, Lynn. Were you a cheerleader in school? 🙂 You are poetic even with your prose. I appreciate the words you put into the world, in whatever form they are.

I hope you will write a poem with your word, Horace. I appreciate how you incorporate your word into your blog posts. And your life!

Thanks, Lisa! Poetry isn’t my native tongue. 🙂 But I do like experimenting with it.
