Decisions, Decisions Poem by David Wood

Decisions, Decisions

Rating: 5.0


If in France I went to Toulouse
I would have nothing to lose.

There would not be too much abhorrence
If I went to Florence.

But would I become ill
If I went to Seville?

I may be better off with a book reading
In a café in Reading.

Ah! I may go to Thame,
To me it’s all the same.

Though I could go to Rome,
Oh, decisions, I might as well stay home.

So is all the thought of travel
Worth all the travail?

Conclusion is natural since you describe Swansea beautifully in many of your poems. Also life is full of decisions and where we are is a result of all decisions made. Another poem simply beautiful.
