Choices~Haiku

Throughout our lifetime,
we make difficult choices,
that decide our fate.

Your words are so very true, Erin.  Well written haiku, they're fun, aren't they?

This was well done and your syllable count is great but I have to be the one who is the downer here. True hiaku always have a nature theme which carries a deeper undertone of life. What you have here is beautiful and you should continue to broaden your horizons.
