John Marsden Writing Topic #334
Write a poem entitled ‘Choices’ or ‘Decisions’**
Decisions
Decision day, it’s time,
Everyone is
Counting on me.
If I go one way, I’ll please a certain
Someone or maybe everyone.
If I go the other way, I’ll be truly happy,
On top of the world,
No-one holding me back, but that certain someone, or maybe everyone will be unhappy. Which way
Should I go?
