crossroads

when at crossroads
stop, pause a while,
fix the dilemma.
BY ASKING WHAT AILS YOU?
dilemma fixed now,
stop pausing
and cross the roads.

Now go join the NaisaiKu Challenge.

Love the way you did this, it reminds me of:
Summers coming
and she's twenty eight bags
of sugar overweight
THE BEACH CAN'T WAIT
Every day at the gym,
bikini fits now
she can swim
