.....my kind of man...from street poster...caught my eye...How ironic!
"I won't tell you that the world matters nothing, or the world's voice, or the voice of society. They matter a good deal. They matter far too much.
But there are moments when one has to choose between living one's own life, fully, entirely, completely - or dragging out some false, shallow, degrading existence that the world in its hypocrisy demands. You have that moment now. Choose!" - Oscar Wilde.
I've made choices, too...and learned a lot. Everything, everything has a price tag attached. - Isabella Koldras
Tanka Poem and Photo by Isabella Koldras
Have you been ever
aware, that you have a power?
Yeeeeees... you, Yeeeeees.... power,
....power and right to choose your
own life. After all....it's yours.
In that vein, you choose
to dream, work, write, save, travel,
spend Spring in Turkey,
Summer in Sydney, Autumn......
well.... all seasons.... be just...you.
As of now you choose
to embrace your life being
writer, work glutton,
make up artist, novelist
avid reader .....terrible.....
cook.........angel, hideous
spirit.....Oh yes.... also choose
clear focus.... key in
finding your niche, excelling
at whatever else you choose.
You put your heart, mind
to something you love, follow
through, learn skills, build craft
fill your brain with knowledge
and scope out competitions......win.
And to burst with your
expectations....exploring
both ends of earth
requires....experience ...soul
nourished with satiated lust......
Don't get stir, and go
off on a tangents! ...confused
full of obnoxious
doubts ...with new ping quitting things
moving on...away...flying,
jumping, asking,........why?...
why, why me?.........Take it easy
think.........so you can say.....
that's chosen life,...... and have fun
with ...Power to Choose.....Instead.
Such strong emotions, ideas and prolific possibilities for choice. Enjoyed your poem. What a coincidence! I also have a poem about power - "Creating Choices". dn
I believe in letting everyone choose for themselves without interfereing in their choice as long as it doesn't hurt others and doesn't give them the chance to choose also.
YES! IT IS OUR GOD-GIVEN RIGHT TO CHOOSE! AND WE MUST NEVER LET ANYONE OR ANYTHING TAKE THAT 'RIGHT' AWAY FROM US. WELL DONE AND ENJOYED. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
jumping, asking,........why?...
why, why me?.........Take it easy
think.........so you can say.....
that's chosen life,...... and have fun
with ...Power to Choose.....Instead.
Your theme offers good advice via this compelling poem, Isabella. Thank you for sharing your insights. Love, peace, and best wishes,
Isabella...OMG that was so prolific..your words are so commanding, grabbing the attention of one who is on the same page as you..I am a " weed " by choice, and use that metaphor when writing about survivors of life's insidious quirks, dealt every day. I see you are also an extension of assisting in decisions of ethics regarding healthcare...I will definitely read other works by you...and I thank you for comments on my " gripe " poem...

Barbara Henry just gave us Emerson's "Imitation is suicide." Well, I find uniqueness in the way you write your poetry. It intrigues me the manner in which you use brevity and partial flickers of thought the can in one word open a cupboard full of 'other thoughts'. Pretty remarkable style. ~~ Diana
Great write Isabella, and I agree: Each of us has the right to choose our paths, our lives.
As the renown philosopher Emerson once said: "Imitation is suicide."
Thanks for sharing this powerful message.
