The road is narrow
Options are disappearing
I’m walking the line

Haiku: Choice
Angels protect us
while demons undermine us
I have made my choice

Haiku: Here Now
Does time run backwards?
The future already known?
I chose to be here

Travelling in the Wilderness (Tanka)
Family strangers
Youngest — I am odd one out
Mission accomplished
Hurled into this mad, mad world
Did I really choose this fate?

Haibun: It’s Up To You
The tension is palpable.
We stand at the crossroads.
It is clear which road
we should take,
yet ultimately it’s our choice.
Let’s not pretend we don’t know
but don’t let me be the one who said:
“I told you so.”
Now at breaking point
Desperate actors go rogue
Pray deliverance

Tanka: Your Choice
You see division
Whereas I see unity
In this together
Each of us must make a choice
Love always wins in the end

Tanka: None So Blind
Toss a coin up high
it will not land on its edge
Do you have a choice?
Heads and tails mean the same thing
Remove the coins from your eyes

Tanka: Elephant or Donkey, or…
Politics hurts us
A merry-go-round charade
Real choice would be nice
Parties like supermarkets
Same stuff sold differently
