A question we all ask at one time or another. Nice job.

Kelly liked your poem.I think we all "dance"
with decisions we make in our lives. Good
poem.

You wanted to read more about the living
creation. Look it up,and read on.

I really liked the idea on this one...always a day late and a dollar short about sums up my life...LOL
I think I would change the form a bit and a few words to:

I fight with natural instints.
Small battles I so often lose.
I wonder, did I change destiny
with decisions I came to choose.
All dressed up at the great party
and still dancing with my fate.
Did you hear the clock strike final?
Am I again too late?

Just an idea, but it seems to flow a bit more smoothly like this.
Overall, nice!

Kelly

I really liked this one just the way it is, it flowed well when I read it the first time and got better on subsequent readings.

Well done and keep up the good work

Thank you all for you kind remarks.
I'm sure it's obvious that I know nothing about poetry. This is one of my first attempts at writing.
Thank you hoot owl for your help. It is appreciated. I know I can't write but I'm having a good time trying.
