I like this poem--it pictures life as life should be lived. We choose, as we travel along, what to do and what not to do. If we don't like the results we can only blame our own self. I will admit there are a few exceptions, but mostly we choose our own path,
This poem made that clear-it was well written, easily understood and mostly speaks the truth, Cheery

I love the picture. It is so fitting with the prompt. One never knows how far our comfort level really is. It's scary when you suggest a change or tell someone to go with their dream. Sometimes if we do, we feel guilty... Like we are taking candy from a baby. Thanks so much for sharing and good luck I the contest. Keri

A beautifully crafted poem replete with wise advice.
Your choice of illustration is intriguing. I was in a bar in Barcelona quite a few years ago. A guy heard my English accent and joined me for a chat and a couple of drinks. I was told later he was Spain's only English bullfighter. I guess he lived the life he wanted.
Good luck in the contest.

Nice poem! I enjoyed reading it and hope you win the writing prompt. A lot of people do spend time wondering what they could have or should have done with their lives - it is rather sad. One of my favorite quotes is "of all the sad words of song or pen, the saddest are these - it might have been."

We all wonder what life we almost had, what if we hadn't had made that decision today, what if we had waited a minute longer before setting out today, it's all a mytery. An excellent job, mystery writer, I cannot suggest anything for improvment, keep writing!! :)

Excellent entry. The entire poem is great, but I especially like the first two lines that could almost stand alone. Our lives are what we make them, indeed.

This was very nicely done. The theme was good.
I could not find well-lit in the dictionary. It must be two words.
Everything else was clean as a whistle.
Love you,
