    ALL OF THE ABOVE

    Is this some twisted test

    Of how much I can bear?

    Do I look away or stare

    At the pieces of our mess?

    My mind races without voice

    Where do I write my answer?

    What’s the cure for ourlove’s cancer?

    I suspect multiple choice…

    A. Time away for reflection

    B. The first one to forgive

    C. Your faults so you can give

    D. Side with compassion

    All of the above?

    Answer with your heart

    So that healing can start

    And we’ll pass the test of love

    • Ricardo, your poem was creative by including multiple-choice answers. It gave the reader a chance to make a choice, which I appreciate. Thank you for sharing your work.

      • I appreciate it so much, Traci. I had fun writing it, but it was also quite challenging. This is exactly why I love poetry.

        • Yes. I completely understand. I thrive nonverbally through performing poetry, but it is very challenging for me to write it. I tell people…God gives me the words. I share the message.

          • I have extreme difficulty expressing my emotions verbally, but poetry frees me in a way nothing else can. I haven’t done a live read yet, but it’s something I am looking forward to (when I muster up the courage 🙂
