A classic story, lives spun around
a world a whirl
a boy and girl
the day is long, but moments short
an itch to soothe
a rock to move
decisions loom, like hydra heads
a choice to make
a road to take

*Love* the idea of decisions like hydra heads. How very true that is. I feel like there are a couple of different ways to read this poem, and I love that. Really great response to the question. Thanks for linking it up!

Thanks Christine for your great comment. I did have an certain slant in my mind when I wrote this, so would be interested to know what ideas you got from it. It is certainly possible that it could mean a couple of different things to other people also. Words are tricksy like that.

You have a finessed way of coming into a subject cock-eyed. This could have been a simple boy meets girl poem, but you introduce whirls and hydras and an ultimatum. Very nicely written, Claudette.

You are so kind Nate. My mind does indeed work in whirls and hydra heads. I think I need a bigger axe for them. 🙂

Hope that works for you, maybe it is the silver (dare I say Grey) that makes me “poetic” 🙂

G’day Claudette,
Being a died in the wool rhymer I thoroughly enjoyed your poem, the unusual way of rhyming the last two lines of the stanza was such a strong way to accentuate your point, well doneLikeLike

I must confess, I don’t know one form of poetry from another, I just type what my brain leaks out, sometimes it goes one way, sometimes another. Also, a bit of a “heathen” in that poetry to me means “ryhme”. Just the way I was raised 🙂
